Do not sum a direct county record and its member district records.
Every lower-tier authority belongs to exactly one county/equivalent edition.
Country comparators use direct official country totals with matching definitions and dates.
Do not average percentages, prices or rents across member councils.
A metropolitan county, ceremonial county or combined authority is not interchangeable with its current councils.
Boundary vintage is attached to every authority and ward; historical series need compatible definitions or explicit breaks.
Scottish Census 2022 and recorded crime are separate systems; do not invent Police.uk ward data.
Existing city hostnames and brands remain intact; a distinct area slug resolves collisions.
Geography-checked does not certify data, council project reviews, branding or publication.
County editions use current upper-tier or equivalent council footprints from the reviewed registry, not historic/ceremonial counties.
Each lower-tier authority and ward is stored once. Upper-tier counties link to constituent districts; they never duplicate ward arrays or include independent unitary authorities.
Published official county estimates are used directly. Derived percentages require complete matching numerators and denominators; prices, medians and district percentages are never averaged.
Country references are actual published England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland totals, with incompatible definitions kept separate.
Retained snapshots keep original observation and request dates; reuse and a new build date do not prove freshness.
Police publication issues suppress dependent totals and changes. Scottish recorded crime is separate from mapped Police.uk records.
Source checking and automated tests are not independent analytical assurance or AQuA certification.
Local plans and projects are selected reviewed examples, not an exhaustive council programme. Proposed actions are analysis, not approved funding or promised delivery dates.
The county/equivalent area, its member councils and wards are separate levels. A direct county total is never added to its own districts.
Statistical records retain their original retrieval dates. A new website release does not mean every source has been freshly collected.
Checks follow the government’s AQuA Book principles: define the question, retain sources, check calculations and explain uncertainty. Automated checks do not constitute independent assurance or certification.

Unresolved historical notices preserve observed rows but block trend interpretation. Stop-and-search and outcomes notices are not treated as crime omissions.
