The pipeline runs once a day at 04:15 UTC. A source that fails is isolated: the others still run, and yesterday's value stays in the score. Every source answered on the last run. No source has missed its publication cycle.

Sources

Two different things fail independently, so we show both: collection (did we reach the source last night?) and data vintage (what period does the source actually publish?). An annual source collected successfully every night still serves a value from last year — that is its normal regime, not an outage.

Open data-quality issues

Automated checks flag values outside physically plausible bounds and jumps beyond four standard deviations. They never block the pipeline — a human arbitrates. Some of these are correct and expected: the 2020 GDP crash really was a four-sigma event, and pre-1900 energy figures really do sit below bounds calibrated for the modern era.
