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 20-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.

Entry rate100.0%920 matched of 920
Exit rate100.0%920 matched of 920

Business Dynamics Statistics measure establishment, firm, and job flows within published national and NAICS-sector universes. They do not measure concentration, market power, legal antitrust markets, or the competitive cause of entry, exit, creation, or destruction. The paired rates do not identify why establishments enter or exit.

Quadrants use this filtered slice's medians: 11.8% and 10.8%.

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.

Relationship directory

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.
