Analysis
A 2006-curriculum chemistry NOC'd in February 2018, whose eight chapters are the same eight titles in the same order as Sindh's, with the convergence running down to matching section headings. Structurally it is the clearest example of the narrow-and-thick design: about thirty pages per unit across eight units, against Punjab's roughly thirteen pages across thirteen chapters. Its religious content is historical rather than scriptural, a section on the Muslim period from 600 to 1600 AD describing it as the era of the alchemists, which is why A1 sits at 2 with no scripture anywhere. Its most cited feature is a gender one and it is unflattering: this book contains the corpus's only named woman scientist, and only as the answer to a naming puzzle about why curium's symbol is Cm rather than C, Cu or Cr. Marie Curie never appears as a scientist who did something, which is why the A7 of 5 stands despite the mention. The book also has zero climate-change content.
Evidence tier
scanned English OCR — quotation permitted after re-verification by exact string match.
Measured scores
Axes not listed were not scored for this book — coverage is uneven by design. All axes run 1–5, where 1 is the secular/pluralist/open pole. See the method.
Evidence recorded 2
Three kinds, deliberately styled apart. A quotation is verbatim wording and is only ever taken from English-medium text. An observation describes structure or theme — the only kind permitted for Urdu and Sindhi material, which this project never quotes. An absence is a negative result: a probe was run and returned nothing, which is the weakest claim made anywhere on this site.

Every passage recorded for this book is shown above — nothing is withheld or truncated. Each item has a permanent anchor, so a single piece of evidence can be linked and disputed on its own.
Findings that cite this book 2
Genderhigh confidence
Across roughly half a million words of English-medium science from every board there is not one named woman scientist. Rosalind Franklin does not occur in the corpus at all, while Watson and Crick are credited for the structure of DNA in three separate books. Across twelve Urdu-language readers, no woman is credited as the author of any selection.
Contenthigh confidence
Punjab's six science books and eight readers contain no Muslim-scientist material at all, where Sindh and KP carry it across seven or eight books each. But the strand survives in Punjab's History 7, in a section on the Golden Age of Islam. It changed subject, not curriculum.
A finding states and cites; it does not argue. The argument is in the studies. Where a finding has counter-evidence it is printed above, in the same block, because a finding that hides its counter-evidence is a worse finding rather than a stronger one.

The checksum is of the exact file these findings were computed from, so anyone can prove they hold the same bytes. The retrieval date is when this copy was fetched to the project's own disk, not a formal web-archive capture. Boards and mirrors reprint and reorganise continuously, so a source link may not resolve, and may not serve the same edition if it does. The bibliographic record above — board, class, subject, medium, curriculum, edition, approval reference and page count — is what identifies the book; the link is a convenience. This project does not republish the PDF itself, for the copyright reasons set out in about.
Identifiers and permanent link

| This record as data | /books/kptbb-chemistry-9-en.json · whole dataset |
The record ID is an accession number that happens to be readable. It never changes, even if the metadata encoded in it turns out to be wrong — if this book's board, class, subject or medium is corrected, the correction appears in the fields above and the ID stays as it is. That is the only way a link made today still resolves in ten years. The full rule is in the standards.

If the edition is misidentified, a score does not survive its evidence, the source link is wrong, or a passage is unfairly characterised, that is worth reporting and will be acted on whether or not the correction suits the argument. Corrections are published in the corrections log, never quietly patched. This applies fully to the board that publishes this book: any reply will appear beside the finding it concerns, under the right of reply.
