Abstract: Let $(M^n,g)$, $n\ge2$, be a compact connected Riemannian manifold with smooth nonempty boundary, $\operatorname{Ric}_M\ge(n-1)Kg$ for $K>0$, and nonnegative outward boundary mean curvature. We derive an explicit algebraic lower bound $B_η$ for the first Dirichlet eigenvalue from Kasue's mixed inradius model. With $R$ the inradius and $s=4KR^2/π^2$, the bound involves one square root and approximates the model eigenvalue with relative error $O_n(s^4)$ as $s\downarrow0$ for fixed $n$. The construction uses the first two moments of a positive representation of the averaged model potential and a sharp pointwise corrector estimate. For the chosen spectral transfer, the first two moments determine an optimal bound. We also show that the model eigenvalue is the geometric infimum at fixed $(n,K,R)$. For $0
