Customer records, walkthrough information, and verified authority remain attributable to their source. Unknown facts stay unknown.

Methodology
Keep the source, calculation, judgment, and issued record distinct.
How Ballast separates association information, deterministic calculations, professional judgments, reviewer dispositions, source provenance, and issued records.
Five controlled stages
Trace the answer back to what supports it.
This public methodology describes the operating boundary. It does not expose protected calculations, customer data, or work-in-progress conclusions.
Deterministic systems normalize the record and surface reconciliation exceptions without turning extraction confidence into professional judgment.
Reserve calculations and scenarios operate from the controlled project record. Unsupported engine-dependent conclusions fail closed.
A qualified reviewer resolves material exceptions, assumptions, and judgments before professional issuance.
The issued report remains unchanged. Later Ballast-reviewed changes may inform Current Position without rewriting the issued baseline.
