## Attribution, in full

 
 Data by RapCanon. Free to reuse, including commercially, with attribution and a link back to the study it came from. If you build something with it, we would like to see it, but you are not required to tell us.
 
 
 What every dataset ships with 
 
 - A method note: how the population was defined and what was excluded

 - The sample size, stated plainly, even when it is small

 - A limitations section written before the findings, not after

 - An as_of date and a published refresh cadence

 - A machine-readable schema describing every measured variable
