    "title": "A module's group result does not become an individual bale measurement",

    "question": "Which results can be cited as individual measurements for B1, B2 and B3, and how should the group average be represented?",
    "answer": "GB2 supplies an individual score of seven for B1 through R1. RG describes the B1/B2 group average of six, not a direct measurement of each bale, so B2 has only that stated group context. GB3's unlinked eight cannot be assigned to B3 or another output. Preserve result level and method alongside GB1's lineage rather than filling missing individual results from a group average or an unmatched card.",

    "boundary": "Use original dummy tags and invented fields. Exclude settlements, real classing files and customer labels; gin, warehouse and result-provider rights need separate review."
