Sources

A local source edge records custody for one FDIC branch-deposit screen. It does not establish where customers live or compete, cover every banking product, define a legal market, or support a competitive-effects or causal claim.

The Census source supports an industry screening row, not a legal antitrust market finding.

A source edge records the public evidence basis declared by the publication and does not erase the source's limitations.

A state source edge records custody only. Business applications, insurance HHI, and branch-deposit HHI remain separate and do not form an economy score or legal market.

A jurisdiction-source link records custody for reported competition-authority activity. It does not measure enforcement quality, deterrence, competitive impact, legal correctness, concentration, consumer welfare, or causation.

An economy-source link records custody for an OECD Product Market Regulation profile. It does not measure market concentration, antitrust enforcement quality, realized competition, or a causal effect of regulation.

A source link records indicator custody and does not extend the source beyond its stated universe, period, or unit.

A Census BFS industry bucket supplies descriptive national application and employer-formation context only. It does not turn EIN applications or projections into operating-business counts, formation rates, concentration, market power, a legal antitrust market, welfare effects, or causation.

A broad national CES private-industry supersector supplies descriptive payroll, hours, and nominal-earnings context only. It does not measure employer concentration, monopsony, bargaining power, job quality, real wages, local or occupational labor markets, a legal labor market, or causation.

A BEA GDP-by-industry line supplies descriptive value-added, GDP-share, real-growth, and growth-contribution context only. It is not a market share, concentration measure, profit, markup, legal antitrust market, competitive-effects finding, or causal estimate.

A broad national JOLTS industry group supplies descriptive worker-flow context only. It does not measure employer concentration, monopsony, wages, bargaining power, job quality, local labor-market conditions, worker substitutability, a legal labor market, or causation.

A BEA domestic requirements table supplies a fixed-technology accounting coefficient at the published 71-industry level. It is not observed spending, a contract, a firm supplier link, market share, concentration, a legal antitrust market, bottleneck or criticality evidence, competitive harm, or causation; the broad-sector bridge creates no aggregate coefficient.

The source is the official custody record for the encoded event; later outcomes require separate evidence.

A source link identifies evidence used by a market profile and does not endorse every claim in the underlying record.

A broad consumer-price series is attached only as descriptive context. It does not establish product equivalence, an antitrust market, concentration, market power, margins, pass-through, welfare, competitive effects, or causation.

The National Economic Context Observatory places exact source observations on one dated workspace, but it does not merge their units, frequencies, universes, seasonal-adjustment conventions, or release calendars. Monthly, quarterly, calendar-year, and fiscal-year signals keep independent scales. Missing periods are not interpolated or carried forward. These descriptive accounts do not establish concentration, profits, markups, employer power, a legal antitrust market, policy effectiveness, welfare effects, or causation, and they are never combined into a composite score.

A BLS major-sector production aggregate supplies descriptive productivity, output, hours, compensation, and unit-labor-cost context only. It does not measure concentration, markups, profits, employer power, innovation, product quality, a legal antitrust market, or causation.

A source-series overlap records an exact shared or successive official release series while retaining each record's separate scope, measures, retrieval date, vintage, revisions, missing values, and interpretation boundaries. It is not evidence of concentration, market power, agency performance, competitive harm, or causation.

A contextual reference explains why an indicator matters or how it may be interpreted. It is not an observation source, does not validate the encoded measurements, and does not convert a descriptive screen into a legal finding or causal claim.
