Which outcome followed undetected errors in khipu readings, preventing timely action?

💡 Explanation

Inaccurate data entry produced by inadequate khipu maintenance triggered resource misallocation, specifically, reduced irrigation water causing lower crop yield from miscalculated needs; rather than safety failures, it reduced available excess, because inaccurate supply estimates caused skewed projections, therefore famine resulted.
