The rational numbers in (eq:certificate-data)–(eq:value-certificate) satisfy
Proof. These are finite rational comparisons, not transcendental evaluations. Substitute (eq:sums) and (eq:tails) into the displayed definitions.
For complete arithmetic reproducibility, the comparisons are equivalently the following positive-rational checks:
All denominators in these substitutions are positive: the series arguments are rational numbers in , and . Expansion and collection over their positive common denominators gives the asserted signs. The inequality follows directly from the nonnegative tail terms, and follows from the definitions.
Appendix app:checker gives a short exact-rational implementation of precisely these finite substitutions. It uses no floating-point arithmetic, logarithms, numerical root finder, or external optimizer.
