Stitched Parallel Authorship: Expert-Rated Prerequisite Chains under Mandatory Placement

Earlier draft. Read-only platform scans and blinded expert ratings show that decentralized, bounded-view contributors working under a mandatory parent-attachment rule produce multi-author prerequisite chains that domain instructors rate as valid learning orders.

Earlier manuscript examining multi-author prerequisite chains through platform records and external instructors' ratings. The draft reported ratings of sampled chains and comparisons with scrambled controls. It is no longer under review. The current CHI 2027 manuscript, Making Small Explanations Useful Together, asks a different question about answering with shared notes and proposing revisions; it does not report these chain-rating results.

Public artifact boundary: this route exposes status, authorship, visual summary, citation metadata, and the contribution boundary; manuscript files are posted only when review and prepublication rules allow it.
