How this page is counted
Each anchor is an employer at a named site, written down in advance with the search terms that identify it. A database function counts published dossiers matching those terms, over title, standfirst and body, and returns the newest date. An anchor reads as documented only when its newest dossier is inside our 540-day currency window. If the count fails, every anchor reads as not measured: never as covered.
