A review of scale stamps, seller slips and buyer challenge cards finds a gap between the total in the public summary and the conditions recorded at the common scale at Red Coil Market. The difference does not prove that anyone misstated the file. It shows what the public count leaves out: the common weight has a maker mark worn smooth on one side.
The scale stamps, seller slips and buyer challenge cards lists 28 loads checked against the common weight; the previous window lists 28. Grikka Ash checked both against crew logs compared with the inspection card for the same shift. The source was checked against a second copy held by Orrik Smelt. No dated correction to either copy was present when the comparison closed.
Sellers say the weight remains within tolerance. Buyers ask the assay room to publish a second reference mark. 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 can compare a load when the stamp is difficult to read.
The committee records a decision and the reason on the public board. The board recorded the outcome that it approved a paid-time trial with a closeout date.
