Research time and progress

64.4 recorded hours across 1,144 research, modeling and source-audit sessions. Sessions repeated across ledgers and overlapping intervals by the same researcher are counted only once. Parallel researchers contribute their separate logged time. This excludes historical time estimates, missing intervals, planned budgets, tests and publishing. No AI-to-human productivity multiplier is applied.

Budget per edition: 60 minutes for discovery, 5 × 25 minutes for initial reports, and 15 × 10 minutes for deep reviews: 335 minutes, including substantive independent review. Existing discovery pools are reused. New-report research remaining: 0h 0m, before tests/publishing overhead.

Completion audit: 3 older initial reports are flagged for health-and-income assessment audit or revision. Missing structured fields are a triage signal, not proof economic effects are absent; acceptance requires independent source and model review. Planned revision research: about 15 minutes at five minutes per initial report, including substantive independent review. Tests and publishing are separate overhead. Only in-depth reviews use the fifteen-minute research budget. This is a work budget, not recorded time or an elapsed deadline; published counts do not certify this assessment.

41 reviewed reports have explicitly unknown household financial effects. Their retained prices are clinical-only references, not zero income or complete combined valuations.

Recorded minutes are partial historical totals, not time budgets. Shared source intervals may serve multiple editions and are not new work twice. Missing discovery timing is not reconstructed. Future batches record discovery, initial and deep research separately from integration and publishing overhead.
