3-body decay contribution missing in the param_card

Hi,

I guess that one of the estimator under estimate the contribution. This is the first time that we observe such behaviour so far.
We did not have any theoretical proof that our two estimator were always over-estimating the contribution.
So looks like you face a case where it is not the case.
I would need to have the model to be able to investigate and try to understand why we face such issue for such model (and then see if it is possible to improve something in this case)

Cheers,

Olivier
