Indicator observatory

Exact relationship builder

Indicator comparison lab

Compare two measures while keeping their entities, periods, units, and source populations visible. A visual association does not establish causation.

Paired comparison cohort

0 / 5 entities · fixed 9-pair benchmark

Select a point, then add it or its nearest exact-pair peers.

The cohort changes the overlay and exact export only. Full-slice medians, correlation, quadrants, and coverage remain fixed.

Coverage diagnostics

What entered the plane, and what did not

Pairing coverage is reported separately for each indicator denominator. A matched row is not evidence that either source covers the full underlying economy.

Bank-deposit HHI100.0%51 matched of 51
Bank leader share100.0%51 matched of 51

State banking indicators are computed from 2025 FDIC Summary of Deposits branch balances grouped to the reported top holding company when available. They are statewide deposit screens, not local banking-market definitions, and do not cover every banking product. Association between the two measures is mechanical context, not a finding about competition or consumer outcomes.

Quadrants use this filtered slice's medians: 1,106 and 23.0%.

Slice ledgers

Period and group structure

Counts and correlations stay inside exact paired rows. Small groups may be too thin for a stable descriptive association.

Reusable comparison packet

Carry the exact contract into analysis

The endpoint returns every matched row in the filtered slice, both observation identifiers, both source routes, evidence status, confidence, entity, group, and period.

This lab compares only declared same-entity, same-period pairs. Missing sides are excluded rather than imputed, correlation remains descriptive, and unlike universes are never combined into a composite market-power score.

15 declared planes, no arbitrary joins

Each route names both measures and its exact pairing rule. Select a plane to rebuild the lab around that bounded universe.
