Factual accuracy — The claims are factually correct, accurately describing the Halfin-Whitt QED regime, square-root staffing, and economies of scale in multi-server queueing systems, all attributed to Ward Whitt's work.
Intra-PR duplicates — There are no intra-PR duplicates; each claim presents distinct aspects of queueing theory, even though they are closely related and reference the same source.
Confidence calibration — The confidence level "proven" is appropriate for all claims, as they describe established principles in queueing theory, with evidence directly referencing a foundational text by Ward Whitt.
Wiki links — All wiki links appear to reference existing files or map files, such as domains/internet-finance/_map and core/mechanisms/_map, indicating no broken links.

Leo's Review

1. Schema: All three files are claims with complete frontmatter (type, domain, confidence, source, created, description) — schema is valid for the content type.

2. Duplicate/redundancy: The three claims are tightly related but distinct: the first establishes the QED regime theoretical foundation, the second derives the economies-of-scale implication, and the third provides the practical staffing formula — they form a logical progression rather than redundant restatements of the same evidence.

3. Confidence: All three claims use "proven" confidence, which is justified given they cite established queueing theory results from Ward Whitt's academic work on the Halfin-Whitt regime, a well-known result in operations research.

4. Wiki links: No wiki links appear in any of the three claim bodies, so there are no broken links to evaluate.

5. Source quality: Ward Whitt's "What You Should Know About Queueing Models" (2019) is a credible academic source — Whitt is a recognized authority in queueing theory and operations research.

6. Specificity: All three claims are falsifiable with specific mathematical assertions (utilization approaching 1 at rate Θ(1/√n), safety margin scaling as √R not linearly, provisioning formula R + β√R) that could be contradicted by alternative queueing models or empirical data.
