TiNiSn C1b half-Heusler (F-43m), a=5.915 Å. Known-answer control for the Seebeck route: narrow-gap n-type semiconductor with measured |S| well above 100 µV/K.

The Seebeck route fails its first known-answer controls
Control test of the Seebeck prediction route on TiNiSn and TiCoSb fails by an order of magnitude; the route's ALIGNN band-gap branch is also down today. Absolute Seebeck values are not decision-useful until controls pass.
