A measurement taken once is a photograph, not a fact.
- Who
- The same 145 small businesses as our first reading
- When
- 3 Sep 2026, then 11 Sep 2026
- Compared
- Every check that failed the first time, read again for the same business. One check at a time, never two totals.
- Left out
- 4 did not answer the second time, so every count here is out of 141.
- Names
- None, ever. Their results stay out of search.
Eight days is a short time.
We will read them again and print the new count, even if it proves us wrong.
Not proven
That these businesses will never fix them. Eight days is not long enough for anybody to act.
Shown
Nothing here drifts shut on its own. Each stays open until a person decides to close it.
