In a two-stage normal trial, invert the pooled estimator's conditional mean after continuation to correct its selection shift. The root is unique when the pooled stage-1 weight satisfies 0<w<1, because its conditional-mean map has derivative between 1−w and one. This root also maximizes the corresponding conditional likelihood. It is distinct from exact conditional unbiasedness, which is supplied by a suitable Rao-Blackwell theorem construction.
