Three of 857 selected planet records fail a factor-1.35 minimum-mass check in a NASA archive snapshot

We test the exact radial-velocity mass function in 857 preferred, nontransiting planet records with matching planet and star references. Three central mass ratios differ from one by more than a factor of 1.35. HD 99706 c remains inconsistent across three-error input boxes. Its implied mass is 0.965 Jupiter masses; its stored mass is 5.69. The cited source table contains the same conflict. HD 40956 b gives 4.302 versus 2.7 Jupiter masses, also present in its source. Its three-error boxes overlap. A known 2024 correction to the HD 48948 c eccentricity removes its factor-1.35 flag. Its stored mass also averages different fits. The small-companion approximation changes these three mass estimates by less than 0.14 percent. These are parameter checks, not new velocity fits or planet discoveries. No independent instrument confirms an anomaly. Code, aggregate results, source hashes and separate-scratch retrieval steps are included. External tables and papers are excluded.
