The numbers in this figure
20 rows from figureC_source_data.csv, read out of source_data.zip in the deposit. Not a copy: the page reads the archive a reader downloads, so the two cannot disagree. The filename carries the pipeline's figure number, which is not this figure's number; the archive's index states the binding.

Binding derived
reservations · pipeline artifact figureC · binding proposed, unconfirmed
Binding evidence, as the record states it: figureC_source_data.csv is computed from deposit/tables/cites_listing_events.csv, the Species+ event history, by visualizations/make_figC_reservations_source_data.py. Its self-test asserts every cell the figure draws: Iceland 14 (7 Appendix I, 7 Appendix II), Norway 5 (4 and 1, with the fin and sei whale reservations partial by their own stock notes), Greenland 1, Finland 0, Sweden 0, and none for Canada, the United States or Russia, which the figure omits. Species+ enters the porbeagle reservation for the Party Denmark; the figure's column names Greenland, and the Source Data keeps both names. The artwork is the co-author's; the script computes the numbers and draws nothing.
No named person has checked that pipeline artifact figureC is the code that produced this manuscript figure. The evidence for the proposal is stated below. The four fields that follow describe figureC. If the binding is wrong, they describe the wrong figure, and that possibility is disclosed here rather than absorbed.

1. Data inputs derived
Computed from the figure pipeline's declared tables and query.
- Database schema
arctic_v2- Tables
arctic_v2.cites_listing_events (change_type 'r', is_current), as deposit/tables/cites_listing_events.csv,arctic_v2.species, as deposit/tables/species.csv- Database release
- Species+ (speciesplus.net/api/v1/taxon_concepts)
- Extraction date
- 13 August 2026
- Redistributable
- Yes
2. Processing steps derived
Each step is a path in the figure pipeline's own repository, which this site does not host. Regenerate and verify commands are literal. 1 of the 2 artifacts below is served here, and carries a download link; the rest are named so the chain can be read, not followed.
- Read the deposited Species+ event history.
deposit/tables/cites_listing_events.csv - Compute and write the frozen numeric source data.

3. LLM involvement: none
No generative model participated in producing this figure. The generator imports only csv, sys, collections and pathlib. No model API is called at any step, and there is no prompt because there is no model.
This is asserted mechanically rather than by declaration. visualizations/tests/test_no_model_calls.py reads this manifest, opens every script and generator it names, searches for model SDKs and API clients, and fails if it finds one. It covers every script and generator the manifest names.
The generative model in this project drafted 343 narrative prose sections about the 43 species. None of that prose reaches any figure, and none of it is displayed on this site: it is withheld pending expert review.
No review has begun, so there is no agreement statistic to report and no page reporting one. What can be checked is that the withholding is complete: the drafts are deposited unrendered as supplementary/species_narratives_no_citations.csv, every species page states how many of its sections are withheld, and the dataset page marks the table as unreviewed content.
4. Validation
Automated gate: passed. Byte-exact regeneration from the live database against the frozen source data.
Human review: generated 2026-10-18; no named person has signed the binding and it is not yet independently confirmed. withheld The automated gate establishes that the numbers are reproducible from the database. It establishes nothing about whether they are the right numbers to plot. That judgement requires a person, and no person has recorded it.
Known defects: none recorded. The automated regeneration gate passed and no defect has been recorded against this figure. That is a statement about what is known, not a guarantee that none exists.
