SUPERSEDED 12 August 2026. This row stated that the March 2025 European Parliamentary Research Service briefing cites no source for either end of its range. The briefing prints no footnote and no in-text citation, which is what the row was reaching for, but it carries five embedded link annotations on the range sentence, and the one anchored on the word 'cost' points to the Atlantic Council commentary at SRC-065 which states $250 billion to $400 billion. The negative limb is withdrawn. What survives is narrower: the briefing cites nothing in print, and links rather than cites

Measure and scope
PRICE BASIS CORRECTED 12 August 2026: this cell asserted the UNDP US$923 billion is in constant 2010 prices. It is not. The UNDP total is the sum of US$799.4 billion of foregone output, which the report does give at constant 2010 prices, and US$123.3 billion of destroyed physical capital, which it does not, so the headline carries no single price basis. Chapter 1 states this in terms
Known conflict
The manuscript described the chain as a series of small reasonable compressions in which nobody did anything unusual. The documents show a single categorical relabelling in one sentence of one page, followed by a rounding of 923 to 900+. The manuscript's account is more forgiving than the record supports SUPERSEDED IN PART, 12 August 2026, and the conflict is named rather than resolved silently. This row asserts that the EPRS briefing cites no source for either end of its range, and its Action cell said not to attribute the low end to any source. THAT IS NO LONGER WHAT THE DOCUMENT SHOWS. The briefing carries five link annotations on the range sentence; the one on the word 'cost' points to the Atlantic Council commentary at SRC-065, which states $250 billion to $400 billion. Chapter 1 now attributes the floor to that commentary. The row's negative limb is withdrawn; what survives is that the briefing prints no footnote and no in-text citation, which is a different and narrower claim. NEW ACTION: the low end is attributed to SRC-065 and to nothing else, and the briefing is described as linking rather than citing. EVERY COLUMN RE-READ 12 August 2026 after the v11 diff review found that a previous pass had edited this column alone and reported the row as superseded. Status, claim text, Action and Measure_and_scope were all still asserting the negation of the operative prose.

Action
SUPERSEDED. The former action, 'Do not attribute the US$250 billion low end to any source, because the EPRS gives none', is withdrawn and must not be applied. The low end is attributed to SRC-065 and to nothing else, and the briefing is described as linking rather than citing
