Data Quality Notes

All 468 target charts were collected (0 missing). Comparison with the previous report on 2026-10-25 was also possible for all 468 / 468 charts. The monthly baseline date of 2026-09-26 is the oldest collection date in the archive, and a full month of data is not yet available. Monthly increases should therefore be read as comparisons with the oldest collection date. There are 274315 reported missing ratings, but the analysis covers only 45734 rows, so the counts do not match. The method for counting missing values (the aggregation unit) needs to be verified. This analysis does not use ratings.
