    How the figure is produced

    • Each claim stores its value, measurement period, source name and URL, geographic coverage, methodology basis and the date it was checked.
    • Only rows that have passed editorial review are visible publicly. Reviewer identities are never exposed.
    • Claims marked historical are retained but withdrawn from current comparisons.
    Awaiting verified data. The table appears here once the current record loads.

    What this figure cannot tell you

    • Evidence coverage is uneven — some claims have a fuller trail than others.
    • Third-party datasets are published on their own schedule, so a claim can be the most recent available while not being current-month.
