After the transport convoy brought all the spoils back, they were handed over to the witch base's administrative officers for appraisal and storage in the warehouses.
The appraisal data could be checked on the witches' internal network, making the process transparent and fair.
Just as Eileen had once let slip:
"We must make certain important information transparent and public, especially the kind that reporters and notary organizations can uncover on their own through various means."
Witches valued spoils as much as Eileen valued gold coins.
Even Eileen, who possessed enough assorted gold coins to fill hundreds of planes, would notice the instant even a single coin went missing—and show [Wrath of the Golden Land Queen] to those little thieves who believed the mistress of the Golden Land had only a gentle and kind side.

A loss rate of around 2% to 4% was within the acceptable range; lawsuits began at 5%. But if force majeure occurred—[for example, Legendary Anse Elves and an Archwitch fighting nearby]—and a large quantity of spoils was lost, the convoy would not be held accountable. That said, it would require an extremely rigorous investigation.
