A review of clock calibration cards and the service board that uses its signal finds a gap between the total in the public summary and the conditions recorded at the clock face at Vesper Steps. The difference does not prove that anyone misstated the file. It shows what the public count leaves out: the clock is adjusted during the quiet interval but its board stays visible.
The clock calibration cards and the service board that uses its signal lists 84 public services with the calibration date posted; the previous window lists 81. Mira Noct checked both against household interviews paired with the posted schedule and room calendar. The source was checked against a second copy held by Adrian Veil. No dated correction to either copy was present when the comparison closed.
The clock keeper trusts the calibration card. Residents rely on the time board at the route entrance. The office has not supplied a separate measure that would settle the disagreement, so the two explanations remain competing accounts.
This report supports a narrower finding: the count is repeatable, but it is not enough to decide how a service announces time when the public clock is being calibrated.
The service board posts the result and its first operating date. The responsible office has begun the follow-up set by the board, which closed the file after two records confirmed the same service interval.
