13k bu is priced on the board with the basis still open, so the average price below is an estimate on those bushels rather than a number. Somebody has to ring the elevator and fix it, or tell Elaine Iverson plainly that this part of the position is not fully priced yet.

Net cash is the board plus the basis, which is the only price the family is actually paid. Where the basis is open the stored figure is today's estimate rather than a settled price, so the average across the account moves until somebody fixes it.

TODO: the contact history in this demo is synthetic. These are invented conversations and they must be cleared before anybody outside the desk sees this page. The record itself is the point: it is the least glamorous thing in the product and probably the most valuable.
