A review of stall tickets, posted prices and the shared scale ledger finds a gap between the total in the public summary and the conditions recorded at the covered market at South Arch. The difference does not prove that anyone misstated the file. It shows what the public count leaves out: the late market uses a second scale after the day market closes.
The stall tickets, posted prices and the shared scale ledger lists 27 prices with a weight and measure method shown; the previous window lists 26. Mira Noct checked both against household interviews paired with the posted schedule and room calendar. The source was checked against a second copy held by Adrian Veil. No dated correction to either copy was present when the comparison closed.
Sellers say the late scale is certified. Buyers ask for both methods on the same board. The office has not supplied a separate measure that would settle the disagreement, so the two explanations remain competing accounts.
This report supports a narrower finding: the count is repeatable, but it is not enough to decide how a buyer compares a price posted under a different scale.
The council records a decision for this window and its reason. The board recorded the outcome that it approved a short trial with an end date and public review.
