History honesty
Observations recorded as published; no archive backfill flag on this series.
Cadence
Weekly — cost models recompute when inputs move (Monday refresh fleet, 11:00–12:30 UTC); values are stable between input changes.
Revision policy
Points change only through staged updates (market_data_staged_updates) with an audit log; the Pro export carries X-Corrections-Count.
