These are the records this paper read, word for word in its English translation of the Korean originals: for each of the ten cases, its situation, the inputs it says are needed, what it says is unknown, when it would be reopened, what it would record and how its run reads its own count. Every case is an authored synthetic training case from AEGIS, not a real event, and every report, office and figure in it is the author's assumption.
Maintenance history reports
An authored synthetic training case of the calculation programme (AEG-K-021) that AEGIS files under disclosure and accountability; its deciding role is the maintenance records manager, and its run counts 4 reports against 3 original sources on a mapping the author assumed.
Four maintenance history reports, r1 to r4, were received. The original sources the reports point to are A1, B2 and C3, and r1 and r3 overlap at A1. The reports compared are calculated at 4 and the distinct original sources at 3.

Accumulate the number of reports and the confirmed history by original source and see whether the division into 3 holds
The 3 distinct original sources are the number of kinds of source the 4 reports actually rest on.
Three kinds of personnel report
An authored synthetic training case of the calculation programme (AEG-K-039) that AEGIS files under personnel and welfare; its deciding role is the personnel information officer (setting), and its run counts 4 reports against 3 original sources on a mapping the author assumed.
Personnel reports p1 and p3 point to Personnel A as their original source, p2 to Welfare B, and p4 to Medical C. The 4 reports refer to the original sources in duplicate, so the consistency of the history has to be checked.

Who wrote each report, and the state of the updated original history
Arrange them again if further reports come in or a new source arises.
After the original sources are unified, record whether the changes in history agree between reports.
It is a calculation that picks out 3 distinct original sources from the 4 reports and makes them the standard for checking the consistency of the history.
Press releases from three places
An authored synthetic training case of the calculation programme (AEG-K-096) that AEGIS files under disclosure and accountability; its deciding role is the information analysis staff officer, and its run counts 4 reports against 3 original sources on a mapping the author assumed.
Comparing 4 press releases showed their original sources to be 3: the policy office, the operations department and an allied state. Whether several of the materials came from the same source has to be checked. The roots of the sources are stated in order to judge the independence of the materials.

It confirms that the original sources of the 4 compared items converge on 3, and manages the materials of duplicated sources separately.
Maintenance performance reports
An authored synthetic training case of the calculation programme (AEG-K-112) that AEGIS files under maintenance and life cycle; its deciding role is the maintenance performance recorder (setting), and its run counts 4 reports against 3 original sources on a mapping the author assumed.
4 maintenance performance reports from the vehicle maintenance unit were received. The original sources the reports point to are maintenance work, unit reports and materials management, and 2 reports overlap at the maintenance-work source. The reports are calculated at 4 and the distinct original sources at 3.

Reopen if a new original source appears or the number of reports doubles
Accumulate the amount of work by original source and see whether the division into 3 holds
The 3 distinct original sources, as the number of kinds of source the 4 reports actually rest on, become the standard for arranging the sources.
Fuel consumption reports
An authored synthetic training case of the calculation programme (AEG-K-113) that AEGIS files under logistics and supply chains; its deciding role is the fuel supply officer (setting), and its run counts 5 reports against 3 original sources on a mapping the author assumed.
5 monthly fuel consumption reports were received. The original sources the reports point to are the fuelling point, vehicle reports and field records, and 2 reports each overlap at the fuelling point and at vehicle reports. The reports are calculated at 5 and the distinct original sources at 3.

Compare the monthly consumption by original source and record whether differences accumulate
The 3 distinct original sources, as the number of kinds of basis the consumption reports actually rest on, become the basis for simplifying the reports.
Training accident reports
An authored synthetic training case of the calculation programme (AEG-K-147) that AEGIS files under disclosure and accountability; its deciding role is the safety accident investigation officer, and its run counts 4 reports against 3 original sources on a mapping the author assumed.
Comparing 4 training safety accident reports, their original sources converge on 3: the safety chief's office, the commander on site and the operations department. With 2 reports confirmed to have come from the same safety chief's office, the independence between reports is in doubt. The original sources are arranged and a further check is decided.

Draft procedure for cross-checking
The differences in when each report was written, and whether a record of on-site confirmation exists
Produce the comparison again if a new report is added or the mapping of sources changes.
Record the result of comparing the sources and the details of the cross-check.
The comparison confirms that the original sources converge on 3, the safety chief's office, the commander and the operations department, and takes this as the basis for the cross-check.
Supply statistics
An authored synthetic training case of the calculation programme (AEG-K-172) that AEGIS files under disclosure and accountability; its deciding role is the supply statistics manager, and its run counts 4 reports against 3 original sources on a mapping the author assumed.
A conflict of bases was found: supply statistics reports generate the same figures in different ways from several original sources, such as the supply ledger and the maintenance records. Trust in the reports revives only when the consistency of each original source is weighed and the final basis is fixed in one place. There is no arrangement for which source to take as the standard when the sources differ in when they are updated and who is in charge.

The differences in how each original source generates its figures
Fix the standard of original sources again if the supply system is reorganised.
Record the figures of each source and what was fixed as the final basis.
Because the supply ledger overlaps as the basis of 2 reports, it is identified as the candidate default original source.
Scattered situation reports
An authored synthetic training case of the calculation programme (AEG-K-177) that AEGIS files under disclosure and accountability; its deciding role is the report management officer, and its run counts 5 reports against 3 original sources on a mapping the author assumed.
Because the same information goes out scattered across several documents, what look like 5 reports have 3 actual original sources. As far as the original sources overlap, the independence of the documents falls, so a judgment is needed that sets the scope of merging and standardisation.

Count the number of reports and the number of original sources each month
The 5 reports converge on 3 original sources, a structure in which the same information is duplicated across several documents.
Records of historical decisions
An authored synthetic training case of the calculation programme (AEG-K-178) that AEGIS files under public historical decision-making; its deciding role is the records researcher, and its run counts 4 reports against 2 original sources on a mapping the author assumed.
Public records of historical decision-making look like different documents, but their original sources overlap. Records woven from one source are hard to see as independent evidence, so a judgment is needed on whether to state the original sources in the description of the records.

The 4 records converge on 2 original sources, and the independence of the documents is taken to have fallen by half.
An alliance consultation's documents
An authored synthetic training case of the calculation programme (AEG-K-179) that AEGIS files under alliances and diplomacy; its deciding role is the alliance consultation working officer, and its run counts 3 reports against 1 original sources on a mapping the author assumed.
The several documents holding the results of the consultation all came from the same agenda meeting and are in effect one voice. Even if the documents are many, if the root is one, verifying the independence of the consultation positions is hard, so a judgment is needed that settles their combined management.
