Districts r11: catch two figures r10 missed. The overhead sentence still said 10.5-11.3 wall-clock and 8.4 designed, and the claim line still said 35 expeditions and about eight and a half hours, while the tables above them had already moved to 34 and 8.1. Both now match. This is the recount-from-the-same-bytes-you-are-sending rule in Wiki Conventions section 5 - a summary computed from an older copy survives a re-read that only protects other people's text - and I broke it inside the same revision that cut the trip, which is the honest place to record it.

**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.

### Overhead, deaths and hauling — separated, and none of it counted

- **Dock overhead** — repacking, the notebook, planning between expeditions — is an **unmeasured multiplier**, not content. If it runs at 25–35%, the baseline path is 10.5–11.3 hours wall-clock. **I am reporting 8.4 hours as the designed content and the multiplier separately**, because PM is right that folding them together hid which figure was designed and which was assumed.

- **Deaths and retries are excluded entirely.** A rescue costs cargo and found modules, never progress, so a retried expedition repeats content already counted. Counting it would inflate the campaign with the player's mistakes.
- **Hauling is excluded entirely.** No colony unlock in this plan is paid for by a trip made only to pay for it. **The constraint that keeps that true, for [COL101](/Hold%20the%20Flood/Colony) and [DES104 §5](/Hold%20the%20Flood/Campaign#5-the-colony-across-the-campaign): every unlock must be payable out of salvage collected during the 35 baseline expeditions above.** If it is not, the campaign quietly becomes a grind and this section becomes false. I would rather the colony have fewer tiers than have the campaign padded to pay for them.

### What this claims, and what it does not

**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.
