# Crimson Hexagon Vendor Ops / Procurement Records (2017 Q1-Q2) — Crimson Hexagon Archive

## Description

SEMI-RESTORED RECORD (metadata capture only; no full text). Source tier: DataCite full-metadata capture. DOI(s): 10.5281/zenodo.18365408, 10.5281/zenodo.18365409. Zenodo removal forensics: removal_date 2026-06-19T11:35:47.525662+00:00, removal_reason out-of-scope, removed_by user 1060945.

## Methodology

Assembled from DataCite full-metadata capture; no live authorial surface passed the body-head gate or existed for this work at restoration time. All captured fields rendered verbatim in the body.

## Falsification Conditions

Superseded on sight by any recovered canonical bytes; the captured metadata is verifiable against the DataCite API historical record and the Zenodo tombstone.

## SEMI-RESTORED RECORD — metadata capture only
