How to credit us
Reproduce this line, and give the as-of timestamp from the reading you used. The index is recomputed on request, so a figure without a timestamp is not reproducible.

What you are citing
- Formula v2.1, in force since 2026-08-22. Every reading from /api/msi reports its own formula_version, so a figure can always be traced to the maths that produced it.
- Methodology — the input-by-input write-up at /msi/methodology, including what the number does not claim.
- Schema — the payload contract at /api/msi/schema. Pin it if you are integrating.
- Observed points only — the series pauses when an input is unreadable rather than backfilling, and each reading carries a measured flag. A gap is an honest gap.
