-15.69 kJ/mol (basis unstated)	AuSn	78	experimental	Au–Sn	[1] Dong 2009	Table II, p. 4, row 3 report
-14.88 kJ/mol (basis unstated)	AuSn	78	experimental	Au–Sn	[1] Dong 2009 cites Jena 1979 doi	Table II, p. 4, row 4 report

Uncertainty budget

Components kept separate, in the value's unit (literature SCHEMA.md, UNCERTAINTY_CALIBRATION.md): effective = max(sqrt(max(printed, reading, method)^2 + composition^2 + conversion^2), scatter). The method floor is the robust between-study scatter of the method class in ORCHID (calibrated) or a documented prior; printed values and printed uncertainties are unchanged.

Version 1, machine-extracted: values were read by language-model readers constrained to quote their source and checked automatically, and the release was then audited on the printed pages by adversarial audits, an independent second review of fit-facing records and a preliminary human review of a frozen sample. Flags such as accepted and ESPEI-ready record screening results, not certification; known issues are listed in the release notes.
