\subsubsection{The Impact of Contamination on Revenue}
The contamination--revenue slope is estimated on a controlled cohort (single sweep, baseline policy, $n_{\text{products}}=100$, $n=95$). In this setting, contamination $\alpha$ is set exogenously by the experiment, so the slope identifies the within-sweep causal effect of contamination on revenue under fixed policy and environment settings. The fitted linear model is

with $t(93)=-61.45$, $p=4.27\times10^{-77}$, $R^2=0.976$, and a 95\% confidence interval for the slope of $[-93{,}053.38,\,-87{,}227.68]$. Interpreted on the contamination grid, a $+0.1$ increase in $\alpha$ corresponds to an average revenue decrease of about $9{,}014$ units. A heteroskedasticity-robust check (HC1) preserves the same direction and significance ($t=-41.25$, $p=1.42\times10^{-61}$), supporting a large and statistically stable impact in this controlled regime.

Interpreted on the contamination grid, a $+0.1$ increase in $\alpha$ corresponds to an average revenue decrease of about $9{,}014$ units, and the robust check preserves both direction and significance.
