Collection completeness

Evidence and verification

33 measured · 17 proxy · 7 inferred

Each state is carried three times over: in words, in a pattern or stroke, and in placement. Any single channel can fail without losing the meaning: print, colour vision, or a high-contrast mode.

Measured · solid

Counted directly from a source record.

Proxy · 45° hatch

An estimator standing in for the thing itself. Always carries a caveat.

Inferred · stipple

Derived from detectable traces only. Reads as a floor, never a share.

Partial · 135° hatch

Opposite orientation to proxy, so the two never read as one another.

Unavailable · blank

A stated reason and the capability required. Never a zero.

Suppressed · absent

No value, no plotted position, no tooltip, no cell in any download.

Derivation · process.review_coverage

Formula	8 merged pull requests with a review / 91 merged = 8.8%
Sample	n = 91 of population 200 pull requests · 45.5% coverage
Excluded	109 · pull requests not merged (open or closed unmerged)
Assumption	Only GitHub review records count. Approval given in a plain comment, over chat, or in person is invisible, so a team with a different review habit will score unfairly low — verify against the listed examples before treating a low number as a finding.
Strongest evidence	Rank 1: 1936.0 lines merged unreviewed.
