Six of ten Oddo et al. v3 Table 14 targets fail a two-body orbit check at three listed errors plus rounding for companion masses up to 0.08 solar masses

We test all ten targets in Table 14 of Oddo et al., arXiv:2301.08162v3. We compare the listed semi-major axis with the range from stellar mass, period, and Kepler's law. Each input can change by three listed errors, with rounding of central values and error widths. Each companion can have any mass from zero to 0.08 solar masses. Six listed-axis ranges have no two-body solution: TOI-118 b, TOI-198 b, TOI-244 b, TOI-262 b, TOI-455 b, and candidate TOI-518.01. Five of these six permit overlap when the wider scaled-axis and stellar-radius ranges replace the listed-axis range. Only TOI-518.01 still fails that comparison. For TOI-262 b, the central stellar-mass orbit gives 2.9608 times the reference flux from the listed orbit. This calculation assumes negligible companion mass and a circular reference orbit. The contribution checks the full source table after earlier archive audits flagged TOI-262 b. It releases 200 checked source numbers, nine frozen archive rows, figures, code, and an independent numerical check. The result concerns parameter summaries. It is not a light-curve refit or evidence for a new planet or a failure of gravity.

    We use its finite interval approach and broad companion mass cap. Its archive census already flagged TOI-262 b. We check the full Oddo source table and add rounding of error widths.
