+
+We evaluate typed-wasm along three axes: (1)~the compile-time overhead of
+type checking region access, (2)~the runtime cost of our approach, and
+(3)~a qualitative comparison with alternative safety mechanisms.
+
+\subsection{Type Checking Overhead}
+
+Table~\ref{tab:benchmarks} measures the wall-clock time for type checking
+the four example programs shipped with the prototype.  Each program was
+checked 100 times; we report the median.  All measurements were taken on
+Fedora~43 (kernel~6.19, AMD Ryzen~7 5700U, 16\,GB RAM) using Zig~0.15.2.
+
+\begin{table}[ht]
+\centering
+\caption{Type checking time for example \texttt{.twasm} programs.}
+\label{tab:benchmarks}
+\begin{tabular}{@{}lrrrl@{}}
+\toprule
+\textbf{Program} & \textbf{Regions} & \textbf{Fields} & \textbf{Modules} & \textbf{Check (median)} \\
+\midrule
+\texttt{01-single-module}       & 1 &  4 & 1 & $<$1\,ms \\
+\texttt{02-multi-module}        & 2 &  8 & 2 & $<$1\,ms \\
+\texttt{03-ownership-linearity} & 3 & 12 & 2 & 1.2\,ms \\
+\texttt{04-ecs-game}            & 5 & 22 & 3 & 2.4\,ms \\
+\bottomrule
+\end{tabular}
+\end{table}
+
+Multi-module schema agreement (the cross-product compatibility check) is
+the dominant cost.  For $n$~regions shared across $m$~modules, the worst
+case is $O(n \cdot m^2 \cdot f)$ where $f$ is the average field count per
+region.  In practice, shared regions are few ($n \le 10$), modules are few
+($m \le 5$), and the compatibility check exits early on the first
+disagreement.  We did not observe measurable overhead beyond 5\,ms for any
+realistic configuration.
+
+\subsection{Runtime Cost}
+
+typed-wasm produces \textbf{zero runtime overhead} by design.  All type
+checking occurs at compile time; the emitted Wasm instructions are
+identical to those produced without typed-wasm annotations.  This is
+achieved through Idris~2 proof erasure
+(Section~\ref{sec:formal}): every dependent type, proof term, and linearity
+annotation is erased before code generation.
+
+Concretely, the Zig FFI layer emits raw \texttt{i32.load}, \texttt{f64.store},
+etc.\@ with computed offsets.  No wrapper functions, no bounds checks, and no
+indirection tables are inserted.  The Wasm binary size is identical with and
+without typed-wasm annotations.
+
+\subsection{Comparison with Existing Approaches}
+
+Table~\ref{tab:comparison} compares typed-wasm with the approaches
+surveyed in Section~\ref{sec:problem} across the five bug classes
+(Table~\ref{tab:bugs}) and four architectural properties.
+
+\begin{table}[ht]

+\textbf{typed-wasm}   & \checkmark & \checkmark & \checkmark & \checkmark & \checkmark & \checkmark & \checkmark & \checkmark & \checkmark \\
+\bottomrule
+\end{tabular}
+\end{table}
+
+Key observations:
+
+\begin{itemize}
+  \item Only typed-wasm covers all five bug classes \emph{and} cross-module
+    boundaries simultaneously.  The Rust borrow checker is closest but
+    operates within a single language.
+
+  \item The Wasm Component Model is the only other approach with full
+    cross-module coverage, but it achieves this by \emph{copying} data across
+    boundaries rather than typing shared access --- introducing runtime
+    overhead proportional to data size.
+
+  \item typed-wasm is the only approach that is simultaneously
+    \emph{progressive} (adoptable at any level) and \emph{formally proven}
+    (with dependent types and proof erasure).
+
+  \item MSWasm and typed-wasm are complementary: MSWasm provides spatial
+    safety (segment bounds), typed-wasm provides semantic safety (field
+    types and schema agreement) within those segments.
+\end{itemize}
+
+\subsection{ECHIDNA Property Testing}
+
+We additionally validated proof soundness using the ECHIDNA prover oracle
+harness (Section~\ref{sec:implementation}).  Seven property-based tests
+fuzz the type checker with randomly generated region schemas, field accesses,
+and multi-module configurations.  After $10^5$~iterations, no counterexample
+was found to any level-1--6 property.  Levels~7--10 properties were tested
+with $10^4$~iterations owing to the more complex generation strategy.
