The goal theorem.

Suppose both weight matrices are symmetric and strictly positive definite, the uncertainties of the sixteen values are positive with unit self-correlations, and x and xg solve the respective normal equations. Then: the degrees of freedom are 54 and 15; x and xg minimize their chi-square statistics; the Birge ratios sqrt(44.2/54) and sqrt(12.9/15) round to the printed 0.90 and 0.93; expanding the covariance matrix of the sixteen values of G by the expansion factor 3.9 preserves every correlation coefficient; a single rational relative-uncertainty witness reproduces the printed uncertainties of the alpha family; and the exact derived constants K_J, R_K, the flux quantum, the conductance quantum and its inverse, F, R, the electronvolt and h in eV Hz^-1 agree with the printed digit strings of Table XXXIII.

# The 2022 adjustment is self-consistent

The goal theorem of the mission packages the milestones into the
statement that the two adjustments of the 2022 CODATA report are
self-consistent. Let L be the main adjustment: 133 input data for 79
adjusted constants, hence 54 degrees of freedom. Let LG be the
separate adjustment of the sixteen values of the Newtonian constant of
gravitation: 16 input data for a single adjusted constant, hence 15
degrees of freedom. Suppose both weight matrices are symmetric and
strictly positive definite, the uncertainties of the sixteen values of
G are positive and their self-correlations are one, and x and xg
solve the respective normal equations. Then the degrees of freedom are
54 and 15; x and xg minimize their chi-square statistics; the Birge
ratios sqrt(44.2/54) and sqrt(12.9/15) round to the printed values
0.90 and 0.93; the expansion of the covariance matrix of the sixteen
values of G by the expansion factor 3.9 preserves every correlation
coefficient; a single rational relative-uncertainty witness
reproduces the printed two-significant-digit uncertainties of the
alpha family; and the exact derived constants K_J, R_K, Phi_0, G_0,
G_0⁻¹, F, R, the electronvolt and h in eV Hz⁻¹ agree with the printed
digit strings of Table XXXIII.

/-- The two adjustments of the 2022 CODATA report are self-consistent:
the main adjustment of 133 input data for 79 adjusted constants and
the separate adjustment of the sixteen values of the Newtonian
constant of gravitation have 54 and 15 degrees of freedom; solutions
of the normal equations minimize the chi-square statistic; the
resulting Birge ratios round to the printed 0.90 and 0.93; the
expansion factor 3.9 applied to the covariance matrix of the sixteen
values of G preserves every correlation; one rational
relative-uncertainty witness reproduces the printed uncertainties of
the alpha family; and the exact derived constants agree with their
printed digit strings. -/

What the Lean code literally says, in plain math · glm-5-latest-short

The formal statement fixes two least-squares structures: L with 133 input data and 79 adjusted constants, and LG with 16 input data and one adjusted constant, under the hypotheses that both weight matrices are symmetric and strictly positive definite, the uncertainties of LG are positive, the self-correlations of LG are one, x solves the normal equations of L, and xg solves the normal equations of LG. The conclusion is the conjunction of: the degree-of-freedom identities 133 - 79 = 54 and 16 - 1 = 15; the two minimization statements for x and xg; the two Birge interval pairs placing sqrt(44.2/54) in [0.895, 0.905) and sqrt(12.9/15) in [0.925, 0.935); the statement that expanding the covariance matrix of LG by the constant factor 39/10 preserves every correlation coefficient; the existential alpha-family clause with a rational witness ur of order 1.6 x 10^-10 whose products with alpha, 1/alpha, mu_0, eps_0 and Z_0 fall in the five printed-uncertainty rounding intervals; and the fifteen derived-value clauses placing K_J/10^9, R_K, h/2e, 2e^2/h, h/2e^2, N_A e, N_A k and h/e in the rounding intervals of their printed digit strings, with the electronvolt equal to e exactly. The statement renders the intended goal faithfully: the self-consistency of the statistical skeleton and the printed output of the 2022 CODATA adjustment.
