It seems to me, when only a transition metal and a hydrogen isotope combination is used by Mizuno and for that matter Godes, the reaction produces a small COP of 2 or less.
When a “secret sauce” is added being a “Alkali Metal Hydride” such as potassium or lithium, the COP generated by the reaction goes way up. Its looks like there exists a good possibility that both Mizuno nd Godes will not produce a useful reaction until they add an alkali metal hydride to their reaction designs. Godes is less likely to do this because he is irrevocably committed to an invalid theory of the reaction.
