The gates, from the farm to the processing plant
Each gate holds everything before it, plus one more stage. Pick the gate where your own accounting starts.
| Gate | Cumulative | Adds |
|---|---|---|
| Farm gate | 0.564763 | Earlier stages |
| Processing▣ | 1.5459 | Processing +0.138626 |
Every value as WRAP prints it.
Never add the gates togetherEach gate already contains the ones before it: the processing gate's 1.5459 includes the farm gate's 0.564763. Adding both gives 2.11, more than the real footprint. Use one gate, or add the stages.
