154 of 154 figures sit in a row or column sum that works out.
p. 102. The crop is page 1 of 2 of Table 7; the body is cut off after the row "Before issuance of complaint" under "Withdrawal" (further rows, and the texts of footnote markers 1 and 2, continue on the next page, so `footnotes` is empty here). Column structure: 18 columns = stub + "All C cases" (Number, Percent of total closed, Percent of total method) + seven case-type panels of two columns each (Number, Percent of total closed). Only "All C cases" has the third "Percent of total method" column; for every other case type that position does not exist, so no cells were left empty there. In the row "Total number of cases closed", the "Percent of total method" cell holds a printed double dash ("--", i.e. not applicable) rather than a number; per the dash-rule convention it is transcribed as an empty cell. The heading "CD cases" carries a raised 2, recorded as "CD cases^2"; the raised 1 on the caption's "Fiscal Year 2008" belongs to the caption and is omitted. Indentation of the stub is not preserved in the grid: "Informal settlement", "Formal settlement" and their sub-rows sit under "Agreement of the parties"; "Stipulated decision"/"Consent decree" appear twice (once under "Before opening of hearing", once under "After hearing opened"); "Adopting administrative law judge's decision (no exceptions filed)" and "Contested" sit under "Board decision". No values appeared doubtful; all digits were legible.
p. 103. 18 columns: stub + All C cases (Number, Percent of total closed, Percent of total method) + two columns (Number, Percent of total closed) for each of CA, CB, CC, CD, CE, CG, CP. This is page 2 of 2 of the table, so the first four rows ("After issuance of complaint...", "After hearing opened...", "After administrative law judge's decision...", "After Board or court decision") are indented continuation lines of a section heading printed on the preceding page; that parent label is not on this crop and was not reconstructed. In the last two rows ("10(k) actions..." and "Otherwise (compliance with order...)") the "Percent of total method" cell for All C cases is printed as a short double-dash rule ("--"), transcribed as an empty cell per the dash-rule convention. Row labels were joined across printed lines and end-of-line hyphens repaired ("dis- positions" -> "dispositions"). Apostrophes in "administrative law judge's" are typeset as curly in most rows and straight in one; all are written as a plain apostrophe. The em dash in "achieved—firm went out of business" is as printed. All values are clearly legible; no doubtful digits. Nothing was computed or checked for arithmetic consistency.
