"""Claim 3 [ALGORITHMIC]: mechanism structure + complexity. Two parts: (A) Structural verification of the two-stage mechanism against the paper's own pseudocode and the invariants its proofs rely on. (B) Empirical complexity: the paper's "Complexity Analysis" states the cold start lasts O(K L N) rounds with per-round cost "only the sorting of prior means", and the exploitation stage is dominated by the offline oracle (O(d^3) inversion).
