    quantities, pass-through costs, units of measurement associated
    with all numeric data, list of excluded services (and the reasons

    other data, information, and calculations, that fully supports
    and explains the confirmation; and

(ii)    confirms the distribution business’ compliance, or otherwise,
    with the quality threshold, and includes evidence to this effect
