Census fingerprint field

Map the economy without inventing a score

Plot every eligible six-digit industry on two separately named national-percentile axes, then inspect the selected row's nearest published structure fingerprints.

Coordinate contract

Axes rank each named measure independently across the national six-digit universe. No latent or composite position is calculated.

Link contract

Links use the existing complete-reference percentile-gap method and remain separate from the selected X, Y, and size encodings.

Interpretation boundary

Position uses national percentile ranks for the two named Census measures. A connecting line marks a nearby published fingerprint under the selected six-measure method; it does not establish product substitutability, competition, common ownership, causation, or a legally defined antitrust market.
