We prove that in the first Heisenberg group, unlike Euclidean spaces and higher dimensional Heisenberg groups, the best possible exponent for the strong geometric lemma for intrinsic Lipschitz graphs is $4$ instead of $2$. Combined with earlier work from arXiv:2004.11447 and arXiv:2207.03013, our result completes the proof of the strong geometric lemma in Heisenberg groups. One key tool in our proof, and possibly of independent interest, is a suitable refinement of the foliated coronizations which first appeared in arXiv:2004.12522.
