151 of 151 figures sit in a row or column sum that works out.
p. 109. 18 columns: stub + "All C cases" (Number, Percent of total closed, Percent of total method) + seven two-column panels (CA, CB, CC, CD, CE, CG, CP), each Number and Percent of total closed. The crop cuts off the bottom of the table: it ends mid-table with the "After issuance of complaint, before opening of hearing" line under Withdrawal, and further body rows (e.g. the Dismissal block) are not on this image. No footnote texts are visible in the crop, so `footnotes` is empty even though the caption carries a raised 1 and the "CD cases" heading carries a raised 2 (recorded as "CD cases^2" in the header). In the "Total number of cases closed" row, the "All C cases / Percent of total method" cell prints a double dash ("--"), transcribed as "" per the dash-rule rule. Digit-grouping commas are reproduced exactly as printed: five-digit figures carry commas (30,195; 23,051; 10,684; 10,682) while four-digit figures are printed without them (6335, 9185, 9184, 8404, 7120, 2156, 1948, 9279, 7187, 1830, 9142, 7056, 1826). Nothing was computed or corrected. Two row labels repeat verbatim at different indents ("Stipulated decision" and "Consent decree" appear once under "Before opening of hearing" and once under "After hearing opened"); indentation is not preserved in the grid, but row order is.
p. 110. Continuation page ("—Continued"): the first three rows belong to a method section whose heading and earlier rows are on the previous page, so they appear here without a section label. Column headings are printed on this page and are transcribed. 18 columns: stub, then three under "All C cases" (Number / Percent of total closed / Percent of total method) and two under each of CA, CB, CC, CD, CE, CG, CP. The "Percent of total method" cells for the last two rows ("10(k) actions ..." and "Otherwise (compliance ...)") are printed as a short dash rule (--), transcribed as "". The em dash inside "not achieved—firm went out of business" is part of the printed label, not a marker. The footnote marker 2 is attached to the "CD cases" column heading; marker 1 is on the caption (Fiscal Year 2002^1), which is excluded per instructions, but both printed footnotes are retained. Arithmetic check (not a correction, for confidence only): the Dismissal line equals the sum of its sub-rows in every column (All C 9169+67+2+6+107+12+1 = 9364; CA = 5925; CB = 3284; CP 23+1 = 24). Two apostrophe glyphs appear in "judge's" (curly in most rows, straight in the "After administrative law judge's decision, before Board decision" row); all normalized to a plain apostrophe.
