Prepared in view of pending proceedings (OC 11 §104.1 referral, Alexanarch record #948) in which this count is cited as evidence.",

  "statement": "On 2026-07-03, during cross-site propagation work, an interim figure of '809' was produced by an automated join and described in a commit message (5864088) as tombstoned DOIs 'with no surviving successor deposit.' That figure measured a DIFFERENT OBJECT: the internal mapping completeness of the Alexanarch doi-resolution-index data file, using a single-source join whose misses were miscounted as unmapped entries. It was identified as erroneous and corrected the same day (commits 2b095aa, e961d28). It did not measure DataCite state. It did not reference, derive from, revise, or correct the 871 count. No correction has ever been issued to the 871 count, which has remained constant from the day of capture through second-epoch confirmation. The corrected measurement of the different object (index completeness) yielded: 400 entries then unmapped, of which 308 concept-family roots and 5 versions were resolved to surviving deposits on 2026-07-03, leaving 87 index-side orphans — a population disjoint from the 871."
