When a tool’s season or news story is over, it isn’t deleted. It moves to the archive of past tools, with the date and the reason.
How every tool is built
The same rules apply to all of them, whatever the topic or language. Read how we check numbers.
- Sourced
- Each figure links to where it came from: an agency notice, a statute or a named forecast.
- Dated
- Each tool shows when it was last updated and when each source was checked.
- Labeled
- ProjectedOfficialA dashed badge means the number can still change. It switches to solid once the agency publishes.
- Private
- The math runs in your browser. No sign-up, and what you type is not sent to us.
