# The Blind Quarter — 70 price moves we can prove happened and cannot date

FrontDeskReview data study of its own record. Window: **2026-06-20 to 2026-09-08** (80 days). Source: https://frontdeskreview.com/blind-quarter/

**Finding:** across that window our scanner did not run. 222 priced figures differ between the last snapshot before it and the first after it, across 267 of 271 datasets. **152 of those differences are ours, not the vendors'** — records we later corrected, most of them a monthly field that had been holding an annual-billed rate. The remaining **70** are genuine vendor moves (55 up, 15 down), and not one of them will ever appear in our dated price-change wire.

**Why not:** a change record publishes only when its two snapshots sit no more than 45 days apart. Past that, "moved on <date>" describes when we last looked, not when the vendor acted. The gate is deliberate and is not relaxed for this study.

**What a row claims:** two dated observations of one figure — nothing about which day inside the window it changed, how many times, or whether it moved and moved back.

## The moves (70) — largest relative change first

A naive count would report these as vendor price rises. Each is a record we corrected; all are in https://frontdeskreview.com/corrections/

## Limits

- These are observations, not events: a difference between two dates says the price changed at some point between them, not when or how often.
- A vendor or plan absent from the earlier snapshot is excluded. Arriving is not moving.
- A re-basing we have not yet found would sit in the moves table looking like a rise. Every row names its vendor and plan so it can be checked.
- One window per dataset, the widest.
