How we work
Sources and method
We never show a number without a source. These are our rules for choosing and ranking sources and for handling figures that disagree, followed by every source we rely on.
135 sources
What this site rests on
135 sources from 65 publishers. Each of the 148 figures on this site cites at least one of them. Counted live from our database when this page loads.
Most-cited publishers
Bars count the documents and pages cited per publisher. Colour shows the source tier.
Method
How we decide what to trust
Primary sources
Documents and data from the body concerned: the Foundation, the Royal Commission, ministries and developers. We lead with these.
Trade and news reporting
Journalism and trade press that relays or adds to primary material. We use it where no primary source exists.
Secondary sources
Summaries, references and analysis. Used for context only, and any figure resting on them is labelled with lower confidence.
Confidence labels
- High confidence A recent primary source, or two independent sources that agree.
- Medium confidence A single reliable non-primary source, or a figure that has aged.
- Low confidence An estimate, second-hand report or weak source. We say so plainly.
When figures differ
We don't pick one number and bury the rest. We lead with one figure, show the rivals beside it with what each measures and when, and explain the gap on Figures explained.
Corrections policy
We welcome corrections from the project team, journalists and readers. Every request with a source is reviewed, errors are fixed openly and logged on What's changed. Figures are never silently removed.
