We use $n_f=2+1$ flavours of Domain Wall fermions generated by the RBC/UKQCD collaboration and three lattice spacings $a^{-1}=1.79,\\, 2.38$ and $3.15\\ \\text{GeV}$. Several sources of potential systematic error are identified and dealt with. After fitting and removing expected leading cut-off effects, we find for the five-flavour $\\overline{\\text{MS}}$ coupling the value $\\alpha_s(M_Z)=0.1181(27)^{+8"},"claims":{"count":0,"items":[],"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"source":{"id":"1804.10286","kind":"arxiv","version":1},"verdict":{"id":null,"model_set":{},"created_at":null,"strongest_claim":"","one_line_summary":"","pipeline_version":null,"weakest_assumption":"","pith_extraction_headline":""},"references":{"count":0,"sample":[],"resolved_work":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57","internal_anchors":0},"formal_canon":{"evidence_count":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"author_claims":{"count":0,"strong_count":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"builder_version":"pith-number-builder-2026-05-17-v1"}
