Warconomy's update log classifies every entry as one of 3 kinds: data (a figure changed), editorial (a surface or wording change with no value change), or source (a citation was added or refreshed). At the contract level every released version is additive and backward-compatible — value changes are dated and the prior value remains in version history.
- Three change kinds: data, editorial, source.
- Only 'data' alters a sourced value, and it is always dated.
- Machine-readable at /methodology/changelog-taxonomy/data.json.
Change kinds
| Kind | Meaning | Alters values? | Entries so far |
|---|---|---|---|
| Data | A figure changed: a new live value, a corrected number, or a sample promoted to live. The change is dated and the prior value remains in version history. | yes | 17 |
| Editorial | A surface, page, export, or wording change that adds capability or clarifies language without altering any sourced value. Most additive releases are editorial. | no | 170 |
| Source | A source was added, re-accessed, or had its link or cadence updated. May accompany a data change but does not by itself restate a value. | no | 1 |
