Almanac entry
Market index belongs to the Market tables division. Its purpose is to index the six published local-grid comparisons. Read each market against its own baseline and query panel. The entry is dated and limited to the shared fact file.
Read the row first
For Market index, read across one row before comparing a column. The row binds the subject to its place. It keeps the date beside the unit. Two values can share a column while relying on different query panels or baselines, so their position in the table does not create a ranking that the sources never made.
Market fields
A market entry keeps its city and state beside the named queries. Reported changes retain their under-90-day boundary. A different city requires a new baseline. Query wording also stays intact. DUI and DWI differ from the OVI market label in the markets where the observations were made.
Review card for Market index
Open the Market index card with this purpose: index the six published local-grid comparisons.
Test the first Market index row under this instruction: Read each market against its own baseline and query panel.
Keep the Market index request open until an owner agrees to obtain raw grids before comparing point-level movement.
Release Market index only after its source, date, unit and unresolved request appear together in the retained card. A later editor should be able to repeat that review without borrowing a conclusion from another almanac entry.
Use of this entry
The working instruction for Market index is to index the six published local-grid comparisons. Begin the review with that job in plain view. It determines which rows belong here and which records should remain in another table. The interpretation rule is equally specific: Read each market against its own baseline and query panel. Copy that rule into any export or excerpt so the value does not lose its context when separated from this page.
Open one worksheet for Market index and record the proposition being checked. Add the controlling publisher and observation date. Name the unit in its own field, then note the geographic scope where one exists. Keep a blank value blank. A reviewer should be able to distinguish the source's words from a calculation and from the editor's conclusion without consulting a hidden scoring system.
Next record
The next bounded task is to obtain raw grids before comparing point-level movement. Assign that task to a person and give the retained file a location before closing the review. If the requested record cannot be obtained, leave the limitation beside the entry. A later link from the same publisher does not answer a request for raw data or an outside source.
When the task is completed, compare the new record with the wording on this page. Update the shared fact file only when a factual field changes. A difference in interpretation belongs in the review note. This separation prevents an editorial disagreement from silently altering a date, percentage or source classification.
Scope card for Market index
Place the purpose to index the six published local-grid comparisons on a dated scope card. Name the subject, evidence class and unit belonging here. Route facts serving another question to their proper index so extra material does not obscure this entry's job.
Adverse-record pass
After reading the strongest Market index row, search for a capable source that could narrow it. Hold the rule constant: Read each market against its own baseline and query panel. Silence matters only when the inspected record would normally carry the absent field.
Next-source ticket
Issue a traceable ticket to obtain raw grids before comparing point-level movement. Name the capable publisher, desired fields and acceptance condition. Attach new material before changing shared facts; a new format from the same origin leaves corroboration unchanged.
Handoff and revision
Give the Market index file an owner and list its fact source and calculation beside its unresolved request. The handoff should show how to index the six published local-grid comparisons without a hidden score. Rebuild affected routes after a shared factual change.
