MOD 11,10 keeps a zero intermediate sum · case 01

Payloads whose running sum hits a multiple of ten get the wrong check digit.

ROOT CAUSE

The substitution of 10 for a zero remainder is missing, so the product collapses to 0.

VERIFIED REPAIR

Replace a zero (p + d) mod 10 by 10 before doubling.

Unsuccessful approach: Substituting after reducing mod 11 instead of mod 10 misses the zero case entirely.

Case contract

ISO 7064 MOD 11,10 hybrid check digit generation for a nonempty ASCII digit payload (else None). Start with p = 10; for each digit p = ((p + d) mod 10, with 0 replaced by 10) * 2 mod 11; the check digit is (11 - p) mod 10.

Why this case matters

Tax and personal identification numbers (for example OIB-style identifiers) use the hybrid MOD 11,10 system.

Verification & scope

A deterministic, bounded teaching model of the named scheme under the stated contract; not a certified validator. This reproducer isolates one failure mechanism. Results cover the supplied fixtures. Variants within a family share a test contract and should remain grouped when constructing evaluation splits. Related mechanisms with a shared evaluation_group must also remain together; these controlled models are not independent production incidents.
