+        **Component Analysis:**
+        The ablation study systematically tests each component's contribution to achieving 450× compression:
+        
+        - **Stage 1 (Permanent Eviction)**: Tests SnapKV++ and magnitude-guided token selection
+        - **Stage 2 (Multi-dimensional)**: Tests hybrid sparse attention and head compression
+        - **Precision Levels**: Compares aggressive INT4 floor vs conservative FP16/INT8
+        - **Magnitude Thresholds**: Tests extreme (0.1%) vs conservative (1%) thresholds
+        - **Position Awareness**: Tests impact of recent window and sink token protection
+        - **Head Selection**: Tests reserved FP16 heads for critical attention patterns
+        
+        **Metrics Evaluated:**
+        - Compression ratio achievement
+        - Generation perplexity degradation
+        - Memory reduction percentage
+        - Decode speedup factor
