Key-figure check: median price diverges 50.6% from the nearest retained anchor (published ten-year series (2025)) — beyond the 12.5% tolerance; an automated validation case is open and the value publishes pending its verdict. Research outlier held out — this pass returned a median of $420,000 (50.6% off the retained reading), contradicting every independent anchor; the prior reading stands pending corroboration. Coherence hold-out: this pass's median rent ($7,700) sat outside the 0.25–4× band around Harris County's retained level and was not stored. Validation: the flagged $420,000 (-50.6% vs the published ten-year series (2025)) could not be independently corroborated and was reverted to the prior cycle value pending review; the case is under review in the Command Center.
