SOURCE SNAPSHOT
Start with provenance and source scope.
INPUT AND EVIDENCE LEDGER
Classify every field before using it.
| Field | Value | Origin |
|---|---|---|
| 2026 spring program | More than 1.7M catchable-size trout, mid-March through early June | NYSDEC release |
| Current-season dataset | Anticipated distribution | NYSDEC / Open Data NY |
| Actual archive | Fish Stocking Lists (Actual), beginning 2011 | Open Data NY |
| Ranking rule | Do not merge statuses | FINVECTOR evidence policy |
REPRODUCIBLE WORK
Run the quality-control chain.
| Check | Formula or rule | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Classify plan | Anticipated + scheduled week | Future/planned evidence |
| Classify archive | Actual stocking list | Reported-completion evidence |
| Join carefully | Water, county, species, season; retain source record | Comparable, not interchangeable |
| Score | Completion may outrank plan; uncertainty remains | Status-aware freshness |
DECISION READING
The audit finding.
A large statewide program establishes context, not a completed event at one water. FINVECTOR should prefer an actual record when available and show a plan as a plan when it is the only evidence.
HUMAN ACCOUNTABILITY + AI USE RECORD
The owner is accountable; the technical checks were AI-assisted.
The TOOOLBOX site owner authorized the publication scope and remains the correction contact. AI assistance was used for drafting, implementation, arithmetic recomputation, and source-link checks. This record does not claim line-by-line human fact-checking or licensed professional review.

- Opened both dataset descriptions and preserved their plan/actual wording.
- Checked the statewide count and season window against the DEC release.
- Reviewed join language to avoid claiming completion from a planned row.
BOUNDARIES
What passed data checks still cannot prove.
- The 1.7M figure is statewide program scale, not a site allocation.
- No fish survival or catch probability is inferred.
- Dataset availability can change after the access date.
SENSITIVITY
Failure modes to retest.
- Water-name changes and county duplicates can create false joins.
- Actual records can still be delayed or revised.
- Stocking status does not establish access or regulations.
