Welcome to the archive room. The stamp was borrowed under a tag number rather than the name on its storage drawer. Your team has the original records on the table. First recover five pieces of information, then use the final plan to find the borrowed archive stamp. Keep every result beside its badge so another teammate can check your reasoning.

Start with the status field in Loan slips.
The tag links an item to a bay; rows in separate records need not line up.
Keep only entries meeting every status test. Follow each printed join to the report field; do not guess from row position.
KITE
Check source status first, then join the matching tag and bay. The useful information comes from separate records, not their printed row order. Result: KITE.
Look at earliest start, each window end and the arrival deadline.
The journey uses time as well as the job; add both to the start of each window.
Check all three conditions for each window. A slot can be long enough yet start too early or arrive too late.
MID
Add job time and travel time to each printed start. Compare the sum with both that window's end and the deadline, then reject early starts. Result: MID.
Find the exact target word and the allowed reading direction.
A reversed word or almost-matching spelling does not qualify.
Check every letter of the full word, then read the digit immediately after it in the permitted direction.
7
Only row 3 has FILE followed immediately by 7. Other rows have changed or reversed letters. Result: 7.
Find all the event cards and the before notes.
Connect cards linked by the notes; a card position is counted from the beginning of the completed order.
Check every before relationship, then read only the requested position. The printed card arrangement is not the answer order.
3
The only order is Read record > Check stamp > Find drawer > File note. Position 2 carries 3. Result: 3.
Find the column letters and row numbers on the grid.
A coordinate gives column first and row second; keep the printed coordinate order.
Read the full word before using the conversion table. If the word is missing, recheck each row and column rather than choosing a similar word.
4
D1, A3, B1, C2 reads FILE. The conversion table gives 4. Result: 4.
Keep the five named results beside the final plan and find the key for each badge.
Each badge controls a different fact, road leg, order note, pulse or habitat layer. Use the matching key exactly once.
Check the completed product against all five recovered facts. If two answers remain, locate the fact that distinguishes them rather than guessing.
BAY-D
Translate each recovered result through its named evidence key. Each location must match all five recovered features. Both values occur equally often in each column, so the location plan alone cannot identify the answer. Checked result: BAY-D.
Pause whenever the group needs a break. This is a planning estimate.
