How the Data Lab works
Presentation is separated from the data catalogue so each measure carries its own metadata, source and preferred visual.
1Catalogue. Every indicator declares its topic, unit, source, frequency and preferred visual type.
2Signals. Rules detect notable rises, falls, peaks, streaks and gaps automatically.
3Explorer. Questions and category cards all lead into the same underlying measure, with time controls only where history exists.
4Source first. Live publication should always retain dataset, update date, status and methodology metadata.
