The missing amount is a return into stock. The cancelled delivery never happened.
Start with 10. Apply +2 then -1. Ignore the cancelled +7.
The known entries leave 11. How much must return to reach the closing stock of 15?
4
Known stock: 10 + 2 - 1 = 11. Closing stock 15 minus 11 gives the missing return 4. Cancelled +7 never arrived.
No item can belong to two people. Cross out each forbidden pairing.
Elm cannot have two items, so Elm must have Kite.

Different positions are 5, 8. There are 2 differences.
Start at W and check every letter.
The exact word starts in row 3, column 1. Check its letters against the target.
In that row, copy column 5, the cell immediately after the complete word.

Only row 3 has WIND followed immediately by 4. Other rows have changed or reversed letters.
Columns A–D run left to right. Rows 1–3 run top to bottom.
The first coordinate A1 means column A, row 1. Its letter is W.
Begin with W, then read B2, C3, D1 in order. Use the complete word's conversion row.
7
A1, B2, C3, D1 reads WIND. The conversion table gives 7.
Keep all five named badge results beside this sheet.
E1 is read first; it holds Route.
Read slots E1, B1, C1, A1, D1. Copy every stored digit in that order, including zero.
