Why it is here
For roughly 0.2–1 TeV dark matter, the construction can fit the LZ event while producing the observed thermal relic abundance without tuning the inelastic splitting by hand.
Machine-assisted summary
A fermionic dark sector uses one dimension-six Standard-Model operator and a small soft symmetry-breaking term to generate endothermic scattering concentrated at high xenon recoil energy.
