CQ2 Adelante Schools 2024-25 — published figures beside ours

Left of the divider is what the Mayor's office published in the supplied PDF. Right of it is what the engine derived from the framework rules and source statements, without reading the published answer first. Each row cites the page in the provided report.

The supplied CQ2 report is the same framework applied to the three test cases in this module. Where OEI records a rating without a computable figure (DSC ratio, reporting requirements), the engine reports the gap instead of adopting the published answer.

Discrepancy candidates already visible: BELIEVE 2024-25 publishes a Current Ratio of 1.31 (MS) while its own narrative states current liabilities exceeded current assets — a ratio below 1.0. Matchbook 2022-23 publishes Debt Default as N/A yet records MS. Both are logged to Exceptions - Review Needed.
