# Raw ref and cite science closure

**Claim grade:** C1-observed
**Audience:** Readers checking the census-scale relationship between ref and cite syntax.

## Primary metric

- **Bare-reference share of paired references:** 19.6079 percent of paired reference markers
- Numerator / denominator: 13448738 / 68588243
- Estimator: Exact census ratio over the reviewed stream payload.
- Uncertainty: No sampling interval; parser coverage and syntax definitions bound the ratio.

## Supporting metrics

- **Paired-reference share with recognized cite syntax:** 80.3921 percent of paired reference markers

## Accessibility fallback

The reviewed census records 13448738 bare references among 68588243 paired reference markers.

## Caveats

- Counts describe raw syntax relations and do not measure citation truth or quality.
- The ratio is bound to the accepted stream-coordinate map and reviewed parser semantics.
