Market claims require different comparisons and records

A deterministic table distinguishing market boundary, own price movement, relationship shift, equilibrium, imbalance, and accounting event claims.

Updated Aug 7, 2026 Review due Nov 7, 2026
Market-boundary, movement, shift, equilibrium, imbalance, and accounting-event claims use different controls and cannot replace one another.
Detailed visual description

The table requires a defined product, parties, geography, period, institutions, and transaction stage for market boundaries. Quantity movements compare own-price points on one fixed relationship, while shifts compare quantities at a common price after a named nonprice change. Equilibrium requires quantity demanded to equal quantity supplied and does not establish fairness or observed trade. Shortage and surplus retain quantity units and are not scarcity, inventory, profit, or welfare measures. Accounting claims return to entity, contract, event, recognition, measurement, and source records.

Review notes

  • Deterministic first pass; inspect screen, narrow viewport, and grayscale print legibility before acceptance.
  • The final row deliberately reconnects market-model output to the separate accounting event and evidence stack.
  • The 780 by 724 preview was inspected on 2026-08-07; all six rows wrap cleanly, maintain strong hierarchy and contrast, and remain legible in the neutral alternating-row treatment.
