Using your background, can you tell me where one can find a 9.4115K resistor? Or how difficult it would be to fabricate?

In a million turn 10K pot.

Buy a big bunch of 10K resistors and cull for one at that value.

Hint, control the temperature, as that will change the measured value.

Hint 2, use kelvin contacts (four leads - two to drive the test current, two to measure the voltage drop) to avoid contact resistance problems.

Or buy a 7K carbon resistor and a jeweler's file, measure the resistor and start filing a notch in it until the value rises to 9.4115K. Protect the cut with shellac or nail polish...
