Method note

This is a coverage and data-quality update, not an accusation sheet. Missing records are treated as missing records. A score movement is shown only when watcher.is has a complete comparison period with enough rows to avoid misleading one-off score changes. Case, SALN, audit, and bill entries link back to source material when available.
