Audit review
The paper derives A = g_Y U* [U g_Y U*]^{-1} U, proves A^2 = A and that A is the g_X-orthogonal projection onto T_xV, and establishes the Hessian geometric Cramér–Rao bound g_X ≥ U* g_H U with g_H = [U g_X^{-1} U*]^{-1} (Theorem 4.2 and Theorem 5.2). The model independently reaches the same conclusions via a direct linearization/Lagrange-multiplier calculation. Assumptions (strict convexity so g_X ≻ 0, full rank of U) are consistent in both. The proofs are mathematically equivalent in content but differ in presentation (diagram-chasing vs. explicit block elimination).
Referee report (LaTeX)
\textbf{Recommendation:} minor revisions \textbf{Journal Tier:} specialist/solid \textbf{Justification:} The core results are correct and well-motivated, giving a clean geometric characterization of absolute sensitivity and a clear CR-type inequality in the Hessian setting. The exposition is generally clear, though a few technical assumptions (strict convexity, rank/invertibility conditions) could be highlighted earlier for completeness. Minor edits would improve readability without altering substance.
