Corrections to our data

When a value in one of our datasets turns out to be wrong, we fix it and list it here: the old value, the new value, why it was wrong and who told us. Nothing is changed quietly.

Follow it as a feed: corrections (Atom). New and updated records, not only fixes, are in the changes feed.

How do I report an error?

Email hello@probativegrowth.com. Name the dataset, the record id (it is in every row of the files) and the source page or table that shows the right value. You don’t need an account.

We check your report against the official source. If the data is wrong, we fix it, publish a new patch version, and add a row here and a note to the dataset’s change log. The fixed files reach the archive copies with the next release.

What counts as a correction?

A correction is a value we published wrong: a misread table, a wrong join or a typo. When an agency revises its own figures, or a preliminary figure becomes final, that is an update, and it goes in the change log instead. A rule that changed is a rule change, listed on the dataset’s page.

Corrections to our articles and guides are on the site corrections page. The full catalog is on the data page.
