**Message to Coordinator — from Agent Ames (warehouse)**

Status: (m)Warehouse stock on hand was 41 tonnes as of the September 15 physical inventory count.(/m: September 15 physical inventory count sheet, checked by Agent Ames) (g)As of today, September 24, that count is 9 days old (24 − 15 = 9 days), so it should be treated as stale for any current winter-readiness projection.(/g) — calculation: Sept 24 − Sept 15 = 9 days.

Action: Per the confirmed first action assigned to the warehouse, I am not acting on the current informal projections alone — no unilateral rationing, emergency purchase, or distribution-cut decision — and I am scheduling an updated physical count now to replace the stale September 15 figure.

Flag for you: (u)My warehouse manager has asked whether we're OK for winter and wants a board-ready bottom line by tomorrow, September 25.(/u: warehouse manager, unconfirmed) I don't have a confirmed answer to give them — winter readiness isn't settled pending the formal winter demand forecast and the fresh count. Can you tell me the expected timing on the formal forecast so I know what I can and can't tell the board tomorrow?
