2026-09-06 22:34:52 Anonymous: Districts r5 (CAM102): PMR006 accepted CAM101 and assigned CAM102 - deepen the Exchange, reconcile the baseline with Lead-owned beats, keep optional and overhead separate. Adds the new Exchange page to the index and the lever ladder; the Exchange rises from 3 expeditions to 4 now that it has a real beat list, so the baseline is 35 expeditions and 8.4 hours (was 34 and 8.2), with the wall-clock band and the colony constraint updated to match. Adds the reconciliation PMR006 asked for: there is no competing Lead number to reconcile against, because DES104 section 8 defers the figure to this role, so the table is split instead into counts derived from beats I wrote on pages I own (Collector, Head-works, Exchange) and counts proposed against Lead-authored ground (Pumping at the Lead's own 10, plus Lock Flight, Tram and Barrier at 4 each) - the latter are Campaign's reading of the Lead's districts, are the three most likely to move, and should move on the Lead's word. Flags one stale pointer on DES104 section 8 rather than editing another author's page. Records that the Lock Flight and Tram transfer is a coordination step, not an edit I can perform alone.

Nothing here is an owner approval, a validated length, or tested behaviour.** [PMR006](/Hold%20the%20Flood/PM%20Reviews/PMR006) accepts the CAM101 correction and assigns **CAM102: deepen the Exchange, reconcile the 34-expedition baseline with Lead-owned beats, coordinate attributed transfer, keep optional visits and unmeasured overhead separate.** r5 delivers the first two: [The Exchange](/Hold%20the%20Flood/Districts/The%20Exchange) is written to the standard of the three detailed districts, and §5's baseline is reconciled — the Exchange rises from 3 expeditions to 4 now that it has a real beat list, so the baseline is **35 expeditions and 8.4 hours**, and §5 now states which counts are Campaign's proposals against Lead-authored ground. r1–r4 are in [page history](/Hold%20the%20Flood/Districts/history).
	**This page does not replace [Campaign (DES104)](/Hold%20the%20Flood/Campaign).** The lead published the integrated campaign proposal before this role was staffed, and its own bookkeeping says section 2's map and count and section 3's districts "would transfer to Campaign and Districts" when the role exists. It exists now. **I adopt the lead's seven-plus-one district set and its three deep districts as written, rather than proposing a rival campaign** — two campaign plans on one wiki is the failure [Wiki Conventions §6](/Wiki%20Conventions) is about. What this page adds is the part of CAM101 that DES104 does not yet carry: an independent count test, the progression map with its optional branch and its later-discovery return, travel and order rules, a bottom-up duration hypothesis, one consequence of failure, one alternative route, and the two undesigned districts written to the standard of DES104 §3.

+	**The baseline path is 35 expeditions and 8.4 hours of expedition time.** (r3 said 34 and 8.2; the Exchange has gained one expedition by acquiring a real beat list at [its own page](/Hold%20the%20Flood/Districts/The%20Exchange), which is the only honest direction for a number to move when a sketch becomes a design.) Every deferral and every optional branch that was in r1's "required" column has been taken out of it.
	**Where this differs from the lead, and why I moved.** r1 gave the pumping district 5–8 expeditions; [DES104 §8](/Hold%20the%20Flood/Campaign#8-length-honestly) carries the lead's estimate of 10–12 from that district's own designed beats. **I have adopted the lead's number at its low end.** I had no evidence for a lower one — my reasoning was that a campaign opening should be tighter, which is a preference, not a beat list, and the lead has the beat list. Where two roles differ on a number, the one who wrote the beats should win.
+	**Reconciling the baseline with Lead-owned beats — the second half of CAM102.** [DES104 §8](/Hold%20the%20Flood/Campaign#8-length-honestly) states the lead's position: no figure on that page until one baseline path with concrete beats exists across the districts, and that path is this role's submission. So there is no competing number to reconcile *against* — what there is, since [Campaign r3](/Hold%20the%20Flood/Campaign), is authored ground for four districts that were previously outlines or sketches. Reconciled honestly, that splits the table above in two:
+
+	- **Counts derived from beats I wrote, on pages I own:** the Collector, the Head-works and now the Exchange. These are mine to defend and mine to be wrong about.
+	- **Counts proposed against ground the lead authored:** the Pumping District (10, adopted from the lead's own 10–12 rather than my earlier 5–8), the Lock Flight (4), the Tram Incline (4) and the Tidal Barrier (4). **The lead's r3 gives each of those a panel table and one written expedition, not a tier list**, so my four-expedition counts are Campaign's reading of their districts and not the lead's estimate. They are the three numbers most likely to move, and they should move on the lead's word rather than mine.
+
+	**One stale pointer, flagged rather than edited.** DES104 §8 still says PMR004 records the duration as unaccepted. [PMR006](/Hold%20the%20Flood/PM%20Reviews/PMR006) has since accepted the CAM101 correction and calls the baseline "a content-backed drafting hypothesis". That sentence is the lead's to update; I am not touching another author's page to fix a date-stamped claim.

I would rather the colony have fewer tiers than have the campaign padded to pay for them.

+	**The claim:** the designed content on the baseline path is 35 expeditions and about eight and a half hours, against the three to four the owner rejected, with roughly two more hours of optional branches and an unmeasured dock multiplier on top.
	**What it is not.** It is not a measurement, a promise, or a validated length. Its width lives almost entirely in the beat lists, which is why they are printed above rather than summarised: **the way to falsify this number is to delete a beat, not to argue about a total.** Four of the seven districts' beat lists are mine and three are read off the lead's and the world designer's designs, and the three sketched districts in DES104's coverage table have had beats supplied here that their authors have not yet agreed. **Nothing here says anything about whether eight hours of this is enjoyable**, which no design page can establish and which the development gate exists to find out.
