For (ii), we can upper bound the indicator function of $[-1,1]$ by the Fourier transform of a non-negative bump function $\varphi$, so that the right-hand side is bounded by
$$ \sum_{t_1,t_2,t_3,t_4 \in W} \varphi(t_1+t_2-t_3-t_4)$$
which is then bounded by $O(E_1(W))$ by choosing the suppport of $\varphi$ appropriately. The lower bound is established similarly (using the arguments in (i) to adjust the error tolerance $1$ in the constraint $ |t_1+t_2 - x| \leq 1$ as necessary.)

For (iii), first observe we may remove duplicates and assume that the $W_i$ are disjoint, then we can use (ii) and the triangle inequality.

To relate $S(N,W)$ to $E_1(W)$, we first observe the following lemma, implicit in \cite{heath_brown_consecutive_II} and made more explicit in \cite[Lemma 11.4]{guth-maynard}.

\begin{lemma} Let $T \geq 1$. If $a_n$ is a $1$-bounded sequence on $[N,2N]$ for some $1 \leq N \ll T^{O(1)}$, $W$ is $1$-separated in $[-T,T]$, and

$$|\sum_{n \in [N,2N]} a_n n^{-it}| \geq V$$
for all $t \in W$ and some $V>0$, then
$$ V^2 E_1(W) \ll T^{o(1)} \sum_{n,m \in [N,2N]} |R_W(n/m)|^3 + T^{-50}.$$

Because the cardinality $|W|$ and additive energy $E_1(W)$ of a set $W$ are correlated with each other, as well as with the double zeta sum $S(N,W)$, we will not be able to consider them separately, and instead we will need to consider the possible joint exponents for these two quantities. We formalize this via the following set:

\begin{definition}[Large value energy region]\label{lv-edef} The \emph{large value energy region} $\Energy \subset \R^5$ is defined to be the set of all fixed tuples $(\sigma,\tau,\rho,\rho^*,s)$ with $1/2 \leq \sigma \leq 1$, $\tau, \rho, \rho' \geq 0$, such that there exists an unbounded $N > 1$, $T = N^{\tau+o(1)}$, $V = N^{\sigma+o(1)}$, a $1$-bounded sequence $a_n$ on $[N,2N]$, and a $1$-separated subset $W$ of cardinality $N^{\rho+o(1)}$ in an interval $J$ of length $T$ such that

\begin{equation}\label{sig-large} \left|\sum_{n \in [N,2N]} a_n n^{-it} \right| \geq V
\end{equation}
for all $t \in W$, and such that $E_1(W) = N^{\rho^*+o(1)}$ and $S(N,W) = N^{s+o(1)}$.

We define the \emph{large value energy region for zeta} $\Energy_\zeta \subset \R^5$ similarly, but now the interval $J$ is required to be of the form $[T,2T]$, and the sequence $a_n$ is required to be of the form $1_I(n)$ for some interval $I \subset [N,2N]$. Thus, in order for $(\sigma,\tau,\rho,\rho^*,s)$ to lie in $\Energy_\zeta$, there must exist an unbounded $N > 1$, $T = N^{\tau+o(1)}$, $V = N^{\sigma+o(1)}$, an interval $I$ in $[N,2N]$, and $W = W$ is a $1$-separated subset of cardinality $N^{\rho+o(1)}$ in $[T,2T]$ such that
