02 / A note on trust
A number is only usefulwhat it means. How we work ↗ 01 Public sources. Visible methods. Every statistic connects to its dataset, reference period and calculation.
02 Context travels with the number. A disaster declaration is not a damage claim. An establishment is not always a company. Those differences matter.
03 Made to be used. Explore a table, download the data, or copy a citation. The evidence stays in reach.
