We first need the minimal-member bound for a Razborov-closed family: an -closed family has at most inclusion-minimal members of size . Indeed, its minimal members of size at most cannot contain sets whose pairwise intersections lie inside a proper subset of another minimal member, since closure would then contain that proper subset. The resulting set-system bound is proved by induction on : fix one member , partition the remaining members according to their intersections , delete , and apply the bound in each class. Summing over gives
