# Originality and claim boundary

## Duplicate review

- Local daily-editorial, active manuscript, external-submission and owned-site searches found no prior full article, exact title, slug, fictional Northline example or Rate Publication Reconciliation Register.
- The package is distinct from existing work on facility operating modes, data freshness, temporary exceptions, configuration drift, import quarantine, procedure-version rollout, service receipts, provider identity, metric comparability and semantic drift.
- The closest adjacent owned article is `The Semantic Drift Register`, which governs a field whose meaning changes. This article governs one approved customer-facing rate bundle across multiple publication and transaction surfaces.
- The article is assigned solely to Jared's personal authority site. Master modBLOG must reject the same title, slug, body and tool as a duplicate.

## Rights and originality

- Original article text and original operator-tool structure were produced for Jared Mastroianni's owned publication program.
- No third-party article text, customer story, deployment claim, quotation or proprietary platform instruction is reproduced.
- Source concepts are paraphrased and limited to the public scope recorded in `source-register.md`.

## Claim boundary

- Northline Storage Cooperative, all six facilities, release ID, amount, timestamp, receipts, paths and outcomes are explicitly fictional.
- No actual rate, promotion, customer, facility, provider, platform, deployment, revenue, occupancy, conversion, compliance, legal conclusion or performance result is claimed.
- Candidate, approved, published, observed, reconciled and corrected are proposed operating states, not an industry standard.
- The tool does not approve prices, create customer offers, change a system, determine legal obligations, complete transactions or decide customer remedies.
