How these are counted
Every figure on this page is written by a nightly job from the tables the product runs on. Nobody types a number. A figure appears when its job exists; a definition changes only with a note here.
- Countries
- Appears once the membership record stores a country for enough members. It does not yet, so the masthead shows three figures, not four.
- Not shown
- Source counts, on any surface. Stories per day, until it is counted against the system. The names of models or vendors; those live on the AI policy page.
