We devise a framework for proving tight lower bounds under the counting exponential-time hypothesis

introduced by Dell et al. Our framework allows to convert many known

fails. As exemplary applications of this framework, we obtain such tight lower bounds for the evaluation of the zero-one permanent, the matching polynomial, and the Tutte polynomial on all non-easy points except for two lines.
