Condition on fixed checkpoints independent of the fresh assessment sequences. For bounded summaries, each averaged over independent sequence blocks,

is a simultaneous mean radius at confidence at least .

Within-sequence dependence and within-sequence pairing between checkpoints are allowed. A paired sequence contrast in an interval of length has radius

Proof. For one bounded mean, Hoeffding's inequality gives Hoeffding. Union bound over summaries. Rescale an interval of length to . The independence is between sequence blocks, not their steps.
