Room 06 of 07 · corrections, dated, never removed

What we got wrong.

A study that only publishes its wins is an advert. This room holds the scheduled work that keeps the instrument current, the automated checks that run against us, and every correction we have published.

If a check cannot be verified, the page says so visibly instead of borrowing a more flattering number from another table.

Section 01

What runs, and how often.

Every figure on this instrument is read from the database when the page is built. Nothing is assembled in your browser, and nothing is injected into a stored file. Scheduled work keeps the underlying rollups current; the pages themselves need no schedule to be correct.

Section 02

The truth spine.

A set of automated checks compares what this instrument publishes against what the database actually holds, on a six-hour schedule. Their value is entirely in what they catch, so what they caught is published below — in full, in the corrections table.

What the spine can and cannot do
In plain words: the checks can tell us when a number on the page disagrees with the database. They could not tell us when a number had quietly stopped being read from the database at all, because from the outside a stale number looks exactly like a fresh one.
Precisely
The previous build injected live values into a static file by pattern substitution. A pattern that stopped matching left the old value in place and returned no error. Four such figures were found on 7 August 2026. The checks now assert that each figure was actually read at generation, rather than only that it looks plausible.
The bounded overstatement
Until 8 August 2026 the tracker recorded a status predicted from the URL instead of the server's answer. The affected population is counted, not guessed: 0 rows from the refused agent since 30 Jun 2026 still carry a served status. They are excluded from every total and deliberately not rewritten.
Section 03

The checks that run against us.

No tokens have been issued yet, so the ledger audit has nothing to check and no check result is shown. The checks themselves continue on their schedule; the full set is published on the leaderboard page.

Section 04

Everything we have got wrong — all of it.

In full, dated, in the main text and not in a footnote. Where a fault is not yet fixed, it is listed as outstanding rather than omitted. The record only grows; a correction is never removed once published. The same list renders on The Workings from the same source file.

Section 05

The same figures, for machines.

The mirrors below are registered routes with a public contract, probed on a schedule. What the pages say and what the machines read come from the same counting rules; that alignment is itself one of the checks.

One study, one style, seven rooms. The legacy room addresses now land on the room that absorbed their content, and every machine mirror keeps its original path.
