RELEASE AND CHANGE LOG

When the data changes,
the trail stays public.

When the calculated series, evidence base or method changes, we publish the date, scope and impact. Interface updates are not data releases.

    Public historical evidence expanded

    The 1980–2004 historical ledger now contains 36 verified records and one candidate. Eleven public records were added and four public source documents are hash-pinned; 1986 reaches the two-independent-source threshold, while the unsupported 1981 city assignment is quarantined. The 2005–2026 calculated headline series is unchanged.

What counts as a release?
