Indicators we verify one by one
Each figure is attributed to its primary source, with its cut-off date. Transparency about methodology and the origin of the data is part of the piece, not a footnote.

Why we don't say "live"
The digital media industry has popularized the LIVE badge on data that actually refreshes once a week, once a month, or never. Diálogo Ciudadano does not. Our trackers are verifiable snapshots with a date and source: each figure corresponds to a specific moment and can be checked.
The date on each card is the data cut-off. The source line indicates which public or civil-society institution published the original figure. When a figure is a Diálogo Ciudadano construction —because we aggregate or cross-reference several sources— we say so explicitly in each tracker's methodology.
We reserve the "LIVE" badge for indicators with real-time updates verified automatically against their primary source. Until a data point meets that standard, we prefer to state honestly which day it was measured and where it came from. A true figure with a date is worth more than a figure presented as permanent when it is not.
