Data provenance

Every figure is sourced. Nothing is estimated.

Direct source feeds

Official statistics retain their issuing body's source and reference period. Stored snapshots keep the last successfully read figures available during refreshes. Weather-model outputs are not official statistics and must be read separately.

Age is always stated

Each card carries an explicit "as of" date and the publisher's next scheduled release when announced. Where a source cannot be read reliably, its publication link remains visible without an invented figure.
