Every figure published on this site can be re-derived from these files. The two ledgers below are served as the exact bytes committed to the repository, not regenerated.
| File | Rows | Size | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Headline ledger | 20 | 2.6 KB | Every headline figure ever published, for both indices, including superseded vintages and the reason each was restated. Served as the exact bytes committed to the repository. |
| Series ledger | 948 | 130.2 KB | Every sub-series: the per-crawler rates, effective and blanket blocking, coverage, the unreadable share and the like-for-like change. Same vintage rules as the headline ledger, same exact bytes. |
| Balanced panel | 611 | 12.5 KB | The domains measured by the historical index: those in the Tranco top 1000 at both ends of the span, with their rank at each end. Fixed across every period, which is what makes a change in that series a change in behaviour rather than in membership. |
