# Grok round 2: ten AB5D series essays

Read NEXT-ROUND.md first, then COMMON.md, canonical-methodology.md and each assigned specification. The updated evidence and submission requirements apply to this batch. Complete only these ten series, saving one complete seven-file package at a time under submission/CANONICAL-SLUG/. Return a ZIP containing the packages and per-essay checks reports. Do not publish or start another batch. Preserve honest incomplete/exception status where necessary. Record your actual model and measured usage; unavailable values must remain null.
