Tandem Circle · Scope and counts

A smaller file you can defend beats a big one you cannot.

The opening move is to find out whether the audience exists at all. Categories are checked against the underlying description, not the label attached upstream. Figures are reported as ranges where a single number would overstate what is known.

Gap reporting

What is missing from a universe, named rather than rounded away.

File assembly

Records drawn together against those criteria, deduplicated, and checked for completeness.

Threshold disclosure

Naming the cut-off used wherever a judgement was made on a score.

We would rather talk about criteria than volumes.
