The month in two readings

Two kinds of number, kept apart: the closing week is the state at month end; door-weeks are every round's counts summed, so a door probed in four rounds counts four. Nothing here is divided into a share. This is the first month on the chain; there is nothing before it to set beside.

Defects, by name

Names are the store's defect vocabulary; a defect is a fact about one challenge at one moment, never about an operator. Counted in door-weeks across the month's rounds.

The gaps, counted against us

57 door-weeks a feed named that a round never reached. 0 ticks where our own vantage was blind, which are nobody's outage. 4 of 4 weeks where a feed page arrived with no recognisable cursor, so the named count is a floor.

What this is not

Counts with their denominators, for one calendar month of signed rounds. No door is named; the closing reading is the last signed week's, and the door-week totals are every round's counts summed and labelled as such, never divided into a share. The month before is beside this one as two readings, and the direction is the reader's to read. Never a ranking, and never a verdict without its derivation and denominator beside it.
