# Unresolved issues and competing explanations

| Issue | Established evidence | What remains unknown | What would resolve or improve it | Publication treatment |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| F&L 45.1% | Indexed passage names LTA; Motorist also reports 45.1% in a fully inspected body | Exact numerator, denominator, population, calculation and source edition | The actual input table/edition and calculation, or dated publisher correction | Preserve discrepancy; no alleged typo or revision |
| CNA numerical origin | Same 2025 pair as official/current LTA-attributed reports | Named empirical producer, exact edition, actual acquisition route | Specific source attribution or documented input records | Candidate F1 INFERRED, exact origin UNK |
| Historical LTA files | Current annual PDF downloaded/hash retained; January coverage has same pair | Which file/version each reporter used; exact publisher release/revision history | Dated source file/archive with reliable version identity | Do not imply January accounts used the October download |
| F&L full access | Indexed evidence inspected; subsequent robots.txt/403 blocks encountered | Current full body, links, byline, context and revision history | Permitted public body inspection if available later | Selected access-qualified appearance; third full-body publication added as BT |
| News-to-news paths | HardwareZone credits ST and exact article link | All other possible acquisition/intermediary routes | Explicit credits or source documentation | No unsupported copying arrows |
| Contextual interview independence | CNA attributes two named views | Exclusive interview acquisition; independence of speakers' factual inputs | Disclosed reporting/collection record | CTX, separately attributed, not verified independent national observations |
| Underlying administrative data accuracy | Published official rows, sum and scope checked | Raw register accuracy, omissions and classification errors | Authorized independent audit of input records | Recalculation verifies processing only |
| Institutional independence | Domains and bylines are known | Funding/ownership relevance to these exact inputs | Relevant public evidence, if necessary | Ownership not used as a shortcut for family assignment |

Scope restrictions, revisions, classification differences, calculation choices and reporting errors are possible causes of the 45.1% difference. None is established. The sensitivity ranges are counterfactual arithmetic, not evidence for any particular explanation. No publisher outreach or paid access was conducted.
