**Claim (as registered):** NAMAMI's folio/leaf-count field is populated on well under 1% of records in every complete state, in sharp contrast to the closest thematic comparator (an independently-curated Sanskrit/Himalayan-manuscript catalogue), which populates the equivalent field on the large majority of its records.

**Proposed mechanism:** A harvest-method-completeness fact: NAMAMI's list-page enumeration method does not parse an extent/folio-count field, versus the comparator's richer per-manuscript cataloguing. Explicitly not a claim about the physical extent of the underlying manuscripts.

**Scope:** Source: NAMAMI (India), a state-facetted manuscript-holdings portal (holdings, not origin -- every record is held-by, not produced-by, the state). Training: 11 states with a complete portal walk (~4.22M records: Bihar, Himachal Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Odisha, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal). Holdout: 9 more states/union territories walked to completion after this claim was fixed (Jammu & Kashmir, Assam, Haryana, Delhi, Manipur, Puducherry, Punjab, Uttarakhand, Jharkhand), each landed as a complete, reconciled count before testing. All data comes from one portal, so survival across states shows stability within this portal's own cataloguing practice, not independently of it. Comparator: an independently-curated Sanskrit/Himalayan-manuscript catalogue (15,812 rows).

**Training-side evidence:** All 11 complete states show extent populated on EXACTLY 0% of records. The comparator populates it on 97.63% of records (15,438/15,812), mean 52.67 leaves, range 1-1,757. Separately: the small fraction of NAMAMI records nationwide that DO carry this field (about 0.27% of all records at the time) is 100% concentrated outside these 11 states -- flagged as a live risk that a holdout state's landing could hit a different (richer) data-entry pathway than the 11 training states did.

**Holdout test and outcome:** Tested (with a filter excluding rows touched by a separate detail-enrichment pilot known to populate this exact field, so that unrelated pilot's rows cannot leak into a holdout state's count) across all nine India holdout states/UTs. Stayed under the training-pattern ceiling throughout.

**Status:** Survived every tested holdout state.
