+## ADDENDUM 2026-08-31 (2) — the mislabel GENERALIZED: 74 wide-width products + held-list correction
+
+Sweeping the whole catalog (wide-width >100 cm + short-length <7 m, joined to what the v3/v4/v5 restore
+maps actually repriced) found **74 wide-width products live at flat roll prices** — the Tigers Eye case
+was a class, not a one-off. **Root cause: a duplicate ZOW-vs-Z-code SKU structure** — the murals we
+recorded as HELD under their `Z<coll>NNNNNN` codes were repriced under their `ZOW0xxx` cross-ref codes,
+so the hold was silently circumvented.
+
+**CORRECTION to §3 above:** Verdure (ZOW0007), Phaedra (ZOW0041), Pompadour (ZOW0123) are NOT actually
+held — they are **live+published** at $497.74 / $447.06 / $533.94 under their ZOW codes. The earlier
+"held" statement described intent under the Z-codes; actual live state diverged. Any future hold/reprice
+must reconcile BOTH code spaces.
+
+**Verified outcome (Steve: "verify-first"):** Zoffany wide-width goods are sold **by the metre** (except
+the 3M-Stocked fixed panels). So the 74 are NOT gross misprices — the per-metre dollar amounts are mostly
+in Zoffany's $400–590/m band. Buckets + surgical plan: `zoffany_widewidth_VERIFIED.md`. Fix = labeling
+clarity (71 per-metre) + dupe resolution (Tigers Eye) + dim backfill (22 length=0m), NOT a mass revert.

+# TK-10873 — Wide-width verification RESULT (2026-08-31, "verify-first" per Steve)
+
+Verified how Zoffany actually sells the 74 wide-width products (1 web-researcher, $0, + our own
+catalog/Shopify copy). **Conclusion: this is NOT a 74-way misprice. A blind revert would have made
+it worse.** The dollar amounts are largely defensible; the real defects are surgical.
+
+## Verified rule
+Zoffany's wide-width (~134–142 cm) digitally-printed wallcoverings are sold **BY THE METRE / linear
+yard**, in increments of their pattern repeat — NOT as standard 10.05 m rolls. The **only** exception
+is the explicit **"3M Stocked" fixed panels** (Wray, Tyndall), which are genuine 3 m × 140 cm panels
+where one flat price is correct. (Confirmed on zoffany.design/us, wallpaperdirect US, selectedwallpapers,
+and our own designerwallcoverings.com listings; US flips the label to "per yard" e.g. Emperors Musician $590/yd.)
+
+## Classification of the 74
+- **A · FIXED PANELS (3) — $3,119 — KEEP.** ZOW0072-01/02 Wray $1,073.30, ZOW0113-01 Tyndall $971.95.
+  Flat price is correct for a fixed panel. Action: none beyond a price sanity-check.
+- **B · PER-METRE wide-width (71) — $32,496 — PRICE OK, LABELING RISK.** Implied $/metre = price ÷
+  repeat-length = **$237–$875/m**, mostly inside Zoffany's ~$400–590/m US band → the dollar figures are
+  defensible per-length prices, NOT gross misprices. The real risk: each is a per-metre CUT presented as a
+  flat unit, so a customer may expect a full roll's coverage (~3×) and receive one repeat-length. Action =
+  **unit-labeling clarity** (title/variant/copy states "per metre / per Xm length + coverage"), not a price revert.
+  - **22 of the 71 have length = 0 m** in the catalog (missing dimension) → their $/m can't be verified →
+    need a **dimension backfill** before their per-metre price is trustworthy.
+- **C · CONFIRMED DUPE (1) — FIX.** Darnley Tigers Eye is live as TWO products: ZOW0075-03 $447.06 and
+  ZDAR312884 $416.00. Same physical item. Pick one canonical, retire/merge the other.
+
+## Surgical remediation plan (replaces the "revert all 74" option)
+1. **Resolve the Tigers Eye dupe** (choose canonical SKU, unpublish/merge the other) — customer-facing → gated.
+2. **Unit-labeling pass on the 71 per-metre products** — product copy + variant unit says "sold per metre /
+   per Xm length" with coverage; mostly a description/variant fix, not a price change → gated publish, but low-risk.
+3. **Dimension backfill for the 22 length=0m SKUs**, then verify each per-metre price → non-gated data work I can do.
+4. **Reconcile the held-list bookkeeping** — FOLLOWUP_DECISIONS marked Verdure/Phaedra/Pompadour "held" but
+   they're live; update the record to reflect reality (non-gated doc fix, done in the addendum).
+5. **Spot-check the per-metre extremes** ($237/m low, $875/m high) for the handful outside the band → non-gated.
+
+**Net:** the ~$35.6k "exposure" is mostly correctly-priced per-metre stock with a labeling gap, 3 correct
+panels, and 1 real dupe — a far smaller, safer fix than a mass revert. Live data: `zoffany_widewidth_mislabel_suspects.json`.
