Compare discussion before and after access. Dates do not prove that a release caused a change, or that the authors used the model. Only a reviewed subset of models has date markers.

Timeline evidence: events and largest allocation changes. Not causal impact. Changes compare reconstructed 24h windows, not hourly published movements.
