- OCR (RapidOCR) of the table on slide 3: 2 independent passes at different resolutions agree cell for cell, and in every column the status rows sum to Total (MW). Raw sha256 15ac8d6a3a8b. Verified against the source file on 2026-09-14 by TechCarta's automated checks: table values were read twice by OCR and matched, columns sum to their printed totals, and each value was compared with the slide image. Approved for publication by C.J. Fernandes.
