 **Negative / honest.** The 1-bit quantized variant is **not** an equal-recall QPS win at our scale; it is shipped as a measured experiment with a clearly-stated ceiling, not as a recommended default. Anyone reaching for it must read §7.

+- **Multi-bit traversal score** — implemented (`b ∈ {1,2,4}` bits/dim over the Pass-2 rotated coordinates) and measured. It *does* lift quantized recall (at N=10k, b=4 reaches the 0.90 equal-recall regime where 1-bit could not), but still does not beat float HNSW QPS.
+- **Large-N crossover measurement** — measured at N ∈ {10k, 100k, 250k}. **The predicted large-N crossover did NOT materialize — it moved the wrong way** (quant recall *collapses* as N grows). See §11.

-- **Large-N crossover measurement.** Re-run §6 at N=100k–1M (`ANN_BENCH_N`) to find where quantization's per-node saving starts to dominate.

+## 11. Milestone-2 — multi-bit traversal + large-N scaling study (MEASURED)
+
+M1 (§7) refuted the SymphonyQG direction at N=10k with a 1-bit code, and *predicted* a crossover at "large N + a higher-bit code." M2 builds both levers and measures them — so the prediction is tested, not assumed.
+
+**Built:** `hnsw_quantized.rs` generalized from 1-bit to a **`b`-bit-per-dimension** code (`b ∈ {1,2,4}`, a mid-rise quantizer over the same `RANGE=3.0` rotated coordinates as ADR-156 §10's `measure_multibit`); `ann_measure.rs` gained `run_scaling_study` / `best_float_op` / `best_quant_op` + a deterministic `scaling_report` (`#[ignore]`, `--release`) and a CI-safe `scaling_study_small_is_consistent`. Memory: **16 / 32 / 64 bytes/node** for b = 1 / 2 / 4.
+
+**MEASURED** (dim=128, 64 clusters, 200 queries, K=10, L2, M=16, ef_construction=200, seeded, `--release`, this box; target recall ≥ 0.90):
+
+| N | bits | B/node | quant best recall | float @ target | quant @ target | quant/float |
+|--:|--:|--:|--:|--|--|--:|
+| 10,000 | 1 | 16 | 1.000 | 23,155 QPS @ r=0.995 | 4,482 QPS @ r=0.965 | **0.19×** |
+| 10,000 | 2 | 32 | 1.000 | 23,155 QPS @ r=0.995 | 10,658 QPS @ r=0.908 | **0.46×** |

+| 100,000 | 1 / 2 / 4 | 16/32/64 | 0.207 / 0.346 / 0.788 | 2,493 QPS @ r=0.938 | none (never ≥ 0.90) | — |
+| 250,000 | 1 / 2 / 4 | 16/32/64 | 0.108 / 0.210 / 0.624 | 1,593 QPS @ r=0.925 | none | — |
+
+**Verdict — NO crossover at any measured (N, b) up to 250k, and the trend REFUTES the large-N prediction:**
+1. **Multi-bit helps at small N but not enough.** At N=10k, more bits lift the equal-recall QPS ratio 0.19× → 0.46× → 0.48× (and let b≥2 actually *reach* the 0.90 bar that 1-bit missed) — but quant stays **below 1.0×**, i.e. slower than float HNSW at equal recall.
+2. **The predicted large-N crossover moved the wrong way.** As N grows 10k → 100k → 250k, quant's best achievable recall **collapses** (b=4: 1.000 → 0.788 → 0.624) and never reaches the 0.90 comparison point, while float HNSW holds ≥0.92. A denser graph packs near-neighbours whose low-bit codes are nearly identical, so the approximate score steers the beam off-path faster than the bigger float-distance savings can repay. The "crossover at millions" intuition is **not supported by our construction's trend** — if anything it diverges.
+3. **Caveat unchanged:** this is our HNSW + our per-node multi-bit code, not SymphonyQG's RaBitQ-fused graph. The result refutes the *direction* for our construction at ≤250k; it does not disprove their published numbers on their system at their scale. A real 1:1 reproduction is the deferred million-scale build.
+
+This is a **published negative with the mechanism explained** — the multi-bit + scaling levers were built and measured rather than asserted, and the honest outcome (no crossover, trend diverging) is recorded, not hidden.
