The model explicitly separates competition into two stages: discovery (first-passage to resource patches) and monopolization (local takeover and stabilization).

Two qualitatively distinct mechanisms underlie observed dominance: (1) extreme-event-mediated lucky discovery (transient), and (2) mechanistic asymmetries (non-reciprocal biases) that convert lucky discovery into permanent dominance.
Conceptual separation in the model structure (discovery vs monopolization phases), analytic results on first-passage extreme events, and absorbing-state analysis showing necessity of asymmetry for permanence; supported by simulations demonstrating the two-stage behavior. The claim is theoretical.
