Screen 6

Revisions & Freshness

Comtrade restates published figures continuously and notifies nobody. A number that was correct last month can quietly become a different number. This screen exists because a corpus that is never re-checked is a snapshot, not a subscription.

Restatements

No restatements detected — and that is a result
859 cells have been re-collected and every one matched its previous vintage exactly. Those figures are now verified as of 2026-08-03, not merely old — which is a different claim from an unchecked number that happens to look the same.

Revision tracking needs no extra collection: every run has always been retained, so the history was already in the database. What changed is that it is now readable. The scheduler re-collects on a cycle; anything Comtrade moves appears here with both vintages and both raw payloads still on disk.
