Provenance evidence

Awaiting sign-off

Assumed · assessed by provenance-audit · 2026-08-26. Agent assessment is evidence preparation, not human verification.

SUEWS database pre-migration workbook: database.xlsxLater compilation

Applies to: parameters.thermal_layers

Where: Pre-migration ESTM row 52240010

Stores the exact London-labelled roof, wall and internal configuration and the mechanically generated legacy reference later removed by PR

Establishes migrated configuration identity and values only.

Assessment findings

Namesupported
The pinned migration row identifies the retained GLA Urban fabric 50-80 (suburb) configuration.
Targetsupported
The row is labelled Buildings and stores roof, wall and internal construction fields, matching land_cover.bldgs.
Valuessupported
The pinned row stores the complete migrated roof, wall and internal tuple exactly. This supports configuration preservation, not scientific validation of the thermal properties.
Sourcesupported
Source unreferenced is correct. PR #478 established that the former Cleugh and Grimmond (2001) reference was a mechanically generated workbook link, while the exact tuple is compilation evidence.
issue #397
Placesupported
London is the explicit application identity of the pinned configuration row.
Representativenesssupported
City preserves the archived GLA configuration scope; it does not claim a city-wide measurement.
Methodsupported
Assumed identifies a retained application configuration whose assembly procedure and original parameter sources have not been recovered.
issue #397
Identitysupported
Stable path, legacy ID 52240010, name, origin and complete tuple preserve the migrated GLA row.

Scientific note

The evidence establishes an exact archived London suburban configuration, not a measured or literature-published construction parameter set. The values therefore remain unchanged with source unreferenced and method assumed. This sidecar remains agent assessed and should enter the focused human review of assumed records.
