Metric definitions
Every figure this site publishes is defined here once: what it measures, over what period, from which source, and the specific ways it misleads. Nothing is displayed anywhere on the site that does not have an entry on this page.

There are also 8 figures a reader may expect that we deliberately do not publish, because no source we use provides them in a form we would stand behind.
