Checking publication dates

How publication decisions are made

Editorial and evidence policy

The editorial rule is simple: show the latest evidence that can be reproduced and explained, or show an explicit unavailable state.

Evidence classes

Official statistics, administrative data, primary polling and commercial market signals remain visibly separate. Their values are never added into a synthetic national score.

Dates and revisions

Observation, publication, retrieval and revision dates are separate fields. A later technical check does not renew the age of unchanged evidence.

Fail-closed publication

A value is withheld when provenance, completeness, currentness or the intended comparison cannot be proved from the source contract.
