Q: What changed in the annual return review?
Nella Voss: The first implementation notes have been compared with the promise in the minutes. That changes what is in the file; it does not, by itself, change the rule.
Q: Which entry should residents look at first?
Nella Voss: the market scale book and the merchants’ sealed delivery chits. This cycle records 34 sacks weighed before the first bell, against 34 in the last count. The dates and the method matter as much as the total.
Q: Why is there still a disagreement?
Nella Voss: Merchants cite fewer sacks at the gate; carriers say several loads waited below the cliff lift overnight. We have not found a single measure that answers both accounts.
Q: What will the next check tell you?
Nella Voss: The market clerk will publish weights from the gate and the hall on the same day. If it is recorded by another crew, we can see whether the first result was about the method or about the place.
Q: What should the public not infer yet?
Nella Voss: That a lower or higher count settles whether the morning price rise reflects a smaller harvest or a bottleneck at the lift. It tells us what was entered, not who should carry the cost.
