1
00:00:00.030 --> 00:00:04.025
Every seller, platform and buyer
in this market is invented.

2
00:00:04.045 --> 00:00:06.776
It was built to test the engine.

3
00:00:06.796 --> 00:00:08.775
From 1 January 2027,

4
00:00:08.795 --> 00:00:13.610
the engine reads the District’s resale
market against the lines in the RESALE Act.

5
00:00:13.630 --> 00:00:16.975
Every finding arrives as an
evidence packet: the records,

6
00:00:16.995 --> 00:00:21.197
a fingerprint of each one, the
parameters and the engine version.

7
00:00:21.217 --> 00:00:24.790
A run’s packets are sealed under
one value, the Merkle root,

8
00:00:24.810 --> 00:00:28.223
and the seal is filed with your
department when the run is made.

9
00:00:28.243 --> 00:00:32.890
If anyone later disputes what the engine
saw, re-hashing the records settles it.

10
00:00:32.910 --> 00:00:35.343
Each grade points to a next step.

11
00:00:35.363 --> 00:00:40.300
A bright-line finding on a listing
nobody bought becomes a notice

12
00:00:40.320 --> 00:00:43.199
to the reseller or the
platform; this run has 166.

13
00:00:43.219 --> 00:00:49.355
A bright-line finding on a completed sale
goes to the Office of the Attorney General

14
00:00:49.375 --> 00:00:54.387
for restitution: 30 sales, with
$1,255.82 paid over the lines.

15
00:00:54.407 --> 00:00:57.155
A pattern, such as sellers
repricing in lockstep,

16
00:00:57.175 --> 00:01:02.227
goes to the Attorney General as a referral
with its sealed packets. There are 21.

17
00:01:02.247 --> 00:01:05.090
A data gap is a test the
records could not settle.

18
00:01:05.110 --> 00:01:08.105
Where a first-sale price or a
possession time is missing,

19
00:01:08.125 --> 00:01:13.260
the step is a records demand under the
reseller’s three-year retention duty.

20
00:01:13.280 --> 00:01:17.790
There are 10, and 40 large reprices are
logged where a public input did move.
