How to read this
What these numbers are, and aren't
This is a count of what a public source says about companies on the map, not a census. A company appears once someone has found it, and a fact appears once a source states it, so every share above describes the records that have the fact.
It is rebuilt every hour from the live directory, so it changes as companies are added and corrected. See the full charts on Stats, the rounds on Funding, and the open data to check any of it.
