Data Treatment

Evidence remains traceable

Missing data are handled under the active methodology rather than silently imputed. Every observation retains source, reference period, status and revision history.

Version Control

Methodology changes do not rewrite history

Once a methodology has produced historical score runs, that version is locked for reproducibility. IEA changes methodology by cloning, editing, reviewing and activating a new version.
