What was wrong with the raw files?

Nine buildings that had not opened were counted as empty. Treating them as pipeline lifts Madison's 2026 occupancy from 66.9% to 83.0%.

The cleaning logs 44 issues: nine pre-delivery buildings reclassified as pipeline, and 35 flags kept as reported for follow-up. It also applies 13 smaller corrections, listed at the bottom.
