## What this file is

A downloadable record of opening an estate-wide copy ticket versus naming one Monday grain as a warehouse job. It is **not** a named-logo customer case, a vendor bake-off, or a JSON Schema / Iceberg / Delta experiment.

## Four-step method (reproducible)

1. Ask live first on a SELECT-only source.
2. Write frequency, consumers, and why the live store fails.
3. Name the job: high-frequency materialization plus three consumers.
4. Promote only that grain. A human owns the warehouse table.

## Source and goal

| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Sources | Postgres reporting replica; 18 order-related tables; ~2.8 million paid-order rows |
| Standing goal | Q2 refund rate by channel, paid orders as denominator, exclude test accounts |
| Contrast | Copy just in case vs named warehouse job |
| Extra observations | 6 Monday replays; ~40 min live replica scan on this run |

## Results

| Retrieval state | Job named | Evidence written | Human-owned promote |
|---|---|---|---|
| Copy just in case | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Named warehouse job | 1 | 1 | 1 |

Wall-clock for the successful naming rerun: 10 minutes (warehouse build time excluded). The clock started when the operator opened the standing goal and ended when the named job, the written evidence, and the human-owned promote sat side by side.

## What you may cite

- Artifact counts 0/0/0 → 1/1/1, 18 tables + ~2.8M paid-order rows on this run, 6 Monday replays, ~40 min live scan, ~10 min wall-clock, run ID

## What you may not claim

- Customer uplift %, a faster lake, official EEAT score, named-logo case, or that JSON Schema / YAML / ORC / Iceberg / Delta / PostgreSQL / Gartner / WAIC scored this run
