Data integrity
What we check on every load, and how to see it for any country before you rely on it.
Guide
Every load runs the same checks: no figures dated in the future, no negative counts where a count cannot be negative, no missing months inside a monthly series, and national totals compared with the matching international series.
A month the office did not publish is marked as such, never filled in. A difference between two publishers is reported with its size and cause, for example when two offices count different sets of establishments.
