In the words, not the charts: this view charts the edition’s bound figures only. The edition’s sections — What Needs Your Attention Today · The 60-Second Scoreboard: The Season So Far · The Bigger Picture: Why the Party Still Happens · Where the Gaps Are: Three Worth Your Coffee · What to Watch · Value Creation vs Value Capture — include stories whose substance is narrative or conditional; those are told in the Newsletter state.
