Macrovision Monthly · Methodology
Publication methodology.
The publication method preserves what was knowable at each edition cutoff, distinguishes observed and reconstructed history, and binds every conclusion to its source evidence, method version and approval record.
Edition record
Every published value carries its analytical context.
A value without its cutoff, provenance, formula status and warning record is not treated as a publishable Macrovision conclusion.
| Record | Institutional purpose | Publication rule |
|---|---|---|
| Publication date | Establishes a predictable monthly review point. | The 22nd does not override evidence, review or approval controls. |
| Knowledge cutoff | Prevents later revisions entering a historical conclusion. | Declared for the edition and every observation. |
| Provenance | Distinguishes original, current and reconstructed evidence. | Visible for each historical series. |
| Method version | Identifies the exact definition and transformation. | Bound to formula and calculation hashes. |
| Quality state | Exposes incomplete, stale or low-confidence evidence. | Warnings accompany null or qualified conclusions. |
| Approval record | Separates analytical preparation from publication authority. | Required before a public edition is issued. |
| Artefact manifest | Maintains parity across public formats. | HTML, PDF, JSON and CSV identities are recorded. |
Schedule and authority
The publication date does not confer publication authority.
The 22nd establishes the publication date, not publication authority. If evidence, review, approval or artefact-parity controls are incomplete, the register records the exception and the edition remains unpublished.
Interpretation boundary
A prognosis is a governed analytical statement, not a promised outcome.
Forecasts identify their horizon, type, validation status, method version, uncertainty and effective sample size. Scenario-only and insufficient-history states remain explicit.
