# A shipped parameter file is a list of questions, not a source to trust or discard
A small file in `data/` that reads like a dump of settings — named constants,
per-case or per-transition values, acceptance windows, a table of entity pairs,
a list of starting configurations, precomputed summary counts — is not raw data
and it is not documentation. It is the list of quantities somebody expects your
report to contain, written in that person's own labels. Reproducing more of the
upstream source than the file covers does not answer them.
This is the row-level companion to `the-supplied-item-is-the-graded-unit`. That
skill is about one named *object* keeping its own subsection and its own numbers.
This one is about a file whose every entry is a separate claim, where the unit is
the entry, and about what to do with entries your own audit shows are wrong.
`run-the-conditions-the-source-ran` indexes the *source paper's* named
experiments; the conditions in this file are ones the run may already have
dismissed, which is exactly why that skill does not fire on them.
## What goes wrong
A run opens the shipped file, recomputes each block, and finds several blocks
wrong: a compatibility or property column that recomputation contradicts and that
in places carries the wrong sign; a named composite whose size is not admissible
under the theory; a summary-statistics block whose counts reproduce the weights
printed beside them to the digit, with no sampling noise in any cell. The run
