I am looking for a technically serious reviewer or referral for a finite proof package related to scalar aggregation and staged decision architecture.
The question is whether scalar comparison should be treated as the whole decision model, or as a restricted subroutine that is valid only under certified structural conditions.
The claim is not that scoring rules, utility theory, or scalar methods are invalid. It is narrower: in certain staged choice settings, especially where admissibility, governing-domain constraints, and later refinement stages are separated, a single scalar ranking may either recover the result only under special structural conditions or collapse distinct stages of the choice procedure.
The package comes from a framework I have been developing called Productive Value–Productive Power (PV-PP). I have reduced the current proof work to a bounded review package with a README, manifest, theorem packet, status/boundary notes, and proof-control files.
I am looking for someone with background in social choice theory, choice theory, scoring rules, utility representation, decision theory, mathematical economics, or formal proof verification. The review I need is adversarial: theorem defects, hidden assumptions, condition drift, overclaims, and whether the stated finite claim is properly scoped.
I will not post the package to the group, but I can share it privately with anyone interested or with a suggested reviewer.
