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.

52 exact pair rowsThree declared edges / four released periods

Each edge is an independent descriptive contract. Shared arithmetic is disclosed, missing sides stay missing, and no three-measure composite score is produced.

Paired comparison cohort

0 / 5 entities · fixed 4-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.

Market CR485.7%18 matched of 21
Market leader share100.0%18 matched of 18

Only common-release observations are paired. Leader share is a component of CR4, so association is partly mechanical; the plane describes how top-four concentration is distributed and does not independently establish market power or a legal market finding.

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.

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.
