  "observation": "A search of SciDEX composition claims referencing SEA-AD or ROSMAP cohorts returned results with no linked power-analysis artifact. The scCODA Dirichlet-multinomial framework is sensitive to donor count and rare cell-type abundance in ways that are not self-evident from a p-value or FDR alone. For pericytes and chandelier cells at <2% abundance in SEA-AD (~84 donors), published simulation literature suggests minimum detectable shifts of 1.5–3× baseline abundance at FDR 0.05 — well above biologically meaningful effect sizes. Claims asserting absence of composition change in these cell types carry unquantified false-negative risk.",
