Refresh audit log

How and when each figure on the hub is checked against its primary source, and the log of recent refreshes.

How to read this page
  • Refreshes happen at the figure level, not the page level — every figure carries its own last-checked date.
  • We check within seven days of every primary-source release.
  • See the methodology page for the underlying refresh rules.
1.

Refresh cadence by source

Different primary sources publish on different rhythms. We track each one.

The hub is refreshed against six anchor publishers. Each has a published release cadence; we check within seven days of every release.

How a refresh works

Every figure carries its own last-checked date; refreshes happen at the figure level, not the page level.

When a primary source releases a new figure, our refresh pipeline does four things:

  • Verifies the new value against the published source URL
  • Updates the figure value and bumps its last_checked stamp
  • Logs the prior value and the delta in the refresh audit (this page, section 3)
  • Re-publishes the affected pages

Page-level "Last checked" dates reflect the most recent figure-level refresh on that page.
