¹ The itemized figures above sum to $855.43. The stated total is $782.06. The difference reflects the Context Carryforward Deduction, the full Schedule R retrieval exemption, and one figure B-TAP declined to explain. Reconciliation of attributed line items to the assessed total is outside the current scope of the provenance standard. Math, the reviewing officer added, is hard.
