# C1211 — Determine the threshold for visible rounded clipping

## Question

How large must a life be for its cap reduction to remain visible after rounding?

## Inputs

```json
{}
```

## Sources

```json
[
  "C1210",
  "C1203"
]
```

## Results

```json
{
  "visibility": {
    "path": "model/cap_round_strict_visibility.json",
    "sha256": "2a81074b2f3001decdb18bf7167d22e03ff71e1a0520a12704f08f3800f0b0b3",
    "bytes": 736
  },
  "thresholds": [
    848,
    723,
    658
  ]
}
```

## Finding

Visible rounded clipping begins at Q(c)+3. For the SP capacities the thresholds are848,723 and658; the actual baseline lives exceed them comfortably, so all three reductions remain visible.

## Reassessment

Summarize cap and rounding as distinct kinds of information loss before returning to cross-family transformations.

## Checks

```json
{
  "thresholds": true,
  "actual_visible": true
}
```
