Analysis
Short pieces, each dated and each built only from rates this site read on providers' own pages: every figure in a piece is listed under it with the page it came from and the time it was read. A piece is written on a day the data has something to say - a move, a card or provider that arrived, a week of the index closing - and on other days nothing is published. The tables stay the site's main answer; these pieces say what the tables showed on a day.
