+### 3.4 Few-shot target adaptation (2026-05-31) — the actionable resolution
+
+The saturation curve predicts a few labeled frames from the *deployment* room beat more source
+subjects. Confirmed. Base trained on all 32 source subjects (63.7% zero-shot on a disjoint 50%
+held-out of the target subjects), then fine-tuned on K labeled frames per target subject:
+
+| K/subject | total frames | eval PCK@20 | Δ |
+|----------:|-------------:|------------:|--:|
+| 0 | 0 | 63.7% | — |
+| 20 | 160 | 68.1% | +4.3 |
+| **50** | **400** | **72.2%** | **+8.5 (≈ prior SOTA)** |
+| 200 | 1,600 | 76.1% | +12.4 |
+| 1000 | 8,000 | 78.3% | +14.6 |

+**Few-shot calibration dominates source volume.** §3.3 showed +24 source subjects (~190K frames)
+buys +6 pts; here **200 target frames/subject (1,600 frames) buys +12.4 pts**. This **re-scopes the
+ADR's acceptance gate and deployment story**: the cross-subject gate (§4, ≥6 pts) is *trivially* met
+by ~50–200 labeled frames of in-room calibration — no foundation encoder or mass capture required for
+the deployment win. **Recommended product behavior:** ship a **~30-second on-site calibration** (a few
+hundred labeled frames per room/person) that recovers most of the gap. The foundation encoder's value
+shifts from "close cross-subject zero-shot" (data says: hard) to "make the few-shot adaptation faster /
+need fewer calibration frames" — a better-posed, achievable objective. **This supersedes the §3.2
+pessimism: the frontier is not closed by algorithms or bulk data, but it *is* cheaply closed at
+deployment time by few-shot calibration.**

 ## 4. Acceptance Test
 
 The encoder is accepted **only if it improves cross-subject torso-PCK@20 by ≥ 6 absolute points without reducing random-split torso-PCK@20 by more than 2 points** — on the same MM-Fi pipeline, one-command reproduction, with per-joint error tables. Results land as AetherArena witness rows (ADR-149), nothing published until reviewed.
