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.

Market structure triangulation

Read concentration through three bounded measures

Switch among every exact pair without treating HHI, CR4, and leader share as interchangeable or additive.

Trace exact paths

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 5-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 HHI65.4%17 matched of 26

Market CR481.0%17 matched of 21

Only common-release observations are paired. Missing sides are excluded rather than forward-filled, and separately defined markets remain descriptive screens rather than interchangeable legal markets.

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.
