Status: draft Scope: isolate slot 10 alternatives while keeping the rest of Candidate E fixed Source: Candidate E Slot 8 Probe

This note focuses only on slot 10. The question is whether the current charcoal is darker than necessary, and whether a slightly lighter or differently biased dark neutral improves the back half without reducing separation from slot 9.
