SUEWS database pre-migration workbook: database.xlsxLater compilation

Stores the exact London-labelled Fast transit roads 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 London Fast transit roads configuration.
Targetsupported
The row is labelled Paved and stores surface thermal-layer fields, matching land_cover.paved.
Valuessupported
The pinned row stores the complete migrated four-layer tuple exactly. This supports configuration preservation, not scientific validation of the thermal properties.
Sourcesupported
Source unreferenced is correct. PR #478 established that the former Onomura et al. (2015) reference was a mechanically generated workbook link, while the exact tuple is compilation evidence.
issue #403
Placesupported
London is the explicit application identity of the pinned configuration row.
Representativenesssupported
City preserves the archived London 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 #403
Identitysupported
Stable path, legacy ID 52240011, name, origin and complete tuple preserve the migrated road row.

Scientific note

The evidence establishes an exact archived London road configuration, not a measured or literature-published thermal 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.
