# Synthetic plan run premium-2 — Add --verbose flag to CLI (PARKED)

Companion to `profile-plan-run-premium-1.md`. Same `premium` profile,
simulated as a second run with two terminal steps replaced
(emission cost / benchmark methodology → capture overhead / overhead
methodology) to model intra-tier variance.

## Intra-tier Jaccard

Premium-1 vs premium-2 share 38/40 step titles; union = 42.
Jaccard = 38/42 ≈ 0.905 — matches the existing baseline plan-run-A vs
plan-run-B floor (≥ 0.833 in plan-determinism.test.mjs).

## Cross-tier Jaccard rationale

Pairing premium fixtures (40 steps) against economy fixtures (30 steps)
yields ~30 shared titles (after string-normalisering), with union ~40.
Conservative cross-tier Jaccard ≈ 30/40 = 0.75 in this synthetic — but
the calibration file pins a *more conservative* floor (0.55) per
research/02 to absorb empirical variance once real runs replace these
fixtures. See `profile-jaccard-calibration.md` for threshold derivation.
