What this surface is allowed to do

These are not style preferences. Breaking one damages the asset.

Allowed, because it is a recordForbidden, because it is a rating
"Issued 4 March: 2027. Issued 12 November: 2028. Source.""Slipping"
A line that goes downA red line that goes down
"Restated from 103.4 to 101.8 on 15 August""Downgraded", "cut", "missed"
"Three revisions in 2025""Frequently revised", "unreliable"
A tooltip showing both values and both datesA tooltip showing "−1.6% worse"

The rule that follows: the vertical axis already carries direction, so nothing else may. Colour identifies the target period. Shape distinguishes a forecast from a result. The good/warning/critical palette used elsewhere on the web is deliberately absent from every chart here.

What is in this build, and what is not

Honest scope, so nothing here is mistaken for finished.

What the record knows it is missing

A tracker that shows only what it has is telling you half of what it knows. The withheld half is the half that tells you how far to trust the rest.

House rule 10 says a check that cannot run must say which rows it skipped. This applies the same rule to curation. Every entry names what exists, what is missing, why it is not recorded, and what recording it would unblock. Several of these are gaps that could be closed by guessing, and are not closed, because a guessed date puts a real number on the wrong day and that is worse than an absent point.

Counted, rather than written up

The list above is curated, so it keeps up with attention rather than with the data. The table below is not: every guard in this record produces a HELD-BACK PILE as a side effect, each pile lives in its own file, and until they were counted together they were visible to nobody. A count of zero renders as zero; a row that disappeared would look like progress and would usually mean a renamed field.

Published by YINDOR. Every figure links to its publisher. Not investment advice, and no view is stated on any company or security anywhere on this site. This build is a working prototype. The exchange-rate file covers 2014-01-02 to 2026-09-29 and was last collected 2026-09-29; the vintage file was last collected 2026-09-16. Both dates are read from the files themselves, so a footer that has gone stale says so rather than repeating what was true at the time it was written.
