## What this file is

A downloadable record of two passes on a monthly refund-rate pack. The first pass stayed in the memo. The second opened the plan, both statements, and both intermediate tables, and found a mid-month SKU remap. It is **not** a named-logo customer case, a vendor bake-off, or a CNCF / Terraform / GitHub / Stanford / McKinsey experiment.

## Four-step method (reproducible)

1. Bind a monthly refund-rate goal on a read-only orders source plus a one-page note (marketplace excluded). Sanitize first.
2. Accept the first “rate moved” memo as the control. Score three checks: plan opened, statement opened, intermediate table opened.
3. Walk the same pack as objects: plan → statement → intermediate table → file. Score the same three checks.
4. Keep both artifacts side by side. Stop if two of the three checks fail.

## Source and goal

| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Sources | One orders table, about 12,685 fulfilled rows across two complete calendar months, plus a one-page refund-rate note |
| Standing goal | Did refund rate move last month on the orders source we already use |
| Contrast | Paragraph-only vs opened intermediate table |

## Results

| Retrieval state | Plan opened | Statement opened | Intermediate table opened |
|---|---|---|---|
| Paragraph only | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Opened intermediate table | 1 | 1 | 1 |

Fulfilled rows on this run: 6,275 (earlier month) vs 6,410 (later month). The unlabeled memo said the rate moved. The object pass named the collision: one SKU family remapped mid-month and the first statement treated the remap as the same family. The reviewer rejected the first file and accepted the second.

Wall-clock for the successful pass: about 7 minutes (warehouse time excluded). The clock started when the operator opened the standing goal and ended when the plan, both statements, and both intermediate tables sat in one folder.

## What you may cite
