COMPUTEDWhy?
Evidence: dd449341-f4a4-4cec-b305-e7e1f4b58767 · uto.towns
Reasoning: Direct read of the canonical town record.
Limitation: Record status describes the record, not operational activity.
Field intelligence for Bloemfontein records 3 opportunity domains and recommends 3 workpacks for this town.
AUTHOREDWhy?
Evidence: MAN_Bloemfontein_v1 · 2023-10-05
Reasoning: Research artefact summary — authored intelligence, carrying its own confidence and review state.
Limitation: review_required: true. Field intelligence is not operational truth.
Work, proof, people and economics for this town are protected records — they exist in the canonical system and are not available to this experience.
RECORDS NOT ACCESSIBLEWhy?
Limitation: Never rendered as zero. Authorised operational access would unlock these layers.

Deployment state is never fabricated: without accessible deployment records a cell reads NOT DEPLOYED (state not accessible) — it is never shown as planned, active or zero.
Proof · economics · learning
Proof
PROOF GAP — the field intelligence defines 6 proof standards for this town; captured proofs are protected records (RECORDS NOT ACCESSIBLE).
Economics
NOT YET MEASURED — no economic records are accessible for this town. GMV / revenue / contribution are never rendered as zero.
Learning
ABSENT — the learnings object is absent from the canonical schema (verified). This is not zero: the object genuinely does not exist yet.
Legacy public town narrative
REALSeparate source: legacy public.towns record (id 79384996…), archetype “Provincial Intelligence Hub”, context updated 2026-07-28. Joined by slug — not merged into the canonical record.
Population figure from StatsSA Census 2022 (811,431). The IDP 2023/24 uses IHS Markit modelled data showing 896,000 for 2021 — the StatsSA Census 2022 figure is authoritative. Ward count of 51 is confirmed by IDP documents and ExaAnswer citing the 2020 demarcation. Facebook group URLs are plausible but not individually verified as currently active — treat as low-confidence directory entries. Church entries for ZCC and NG Kerk are inferred from community profile and IDP social data; specific congregation URLs not retrieved. Bloemfontein Medi-Clinic referenced in Loch Logan waterfront retail data but specific URL not retrieved. Free State youth unemployment 52.1% cited from QLFS Q1 2024 as rep
These notes carry their own research provenance (census/municipal sources). Where figures differ from the canonical record, both are shown — neither is silently chosen.
