FAQ

What questions does this page answer?

Short answers are mirrored in FAQPage schema for search-result extraction.

What is a panel observation?

One complete measurement event with source timestamp, completion timestamp, operator, method, account state, and censoring flag.

Why are some datasets v0.1?

Payout and FICA pages are v0.1 until verified panel coverage confirms verified panel accounts.

Why use medians?

Timings have long tails. Medians are less distorted by one extreme delay than means.
