Aragorn Bolger I'm concerned about the trend break at the 2018 Casablanca adjustment — the figures shift by 18% with no documented reason. The shift is too large to be noise, but the metadata is silent on what caused it. Without understanding whether it's an error correction, a definitional change, or something else, it's risky to use in trend analysis. Can we investigate what happened?
Should inflation be per capita for this comparison to mean anything?
Are there any data quality flags? See /u/plg_dragan_alvere2/p/plot-0001.
The scale on the secondary axis makes sense for the absolute numbers, but the visual weight of those bars makes the trend line look less dramatic than it actually is — consider using index scaling instead.
Is throughput seasonally adjusted here?
This lines up with the other chart if you put retention seasonally adjusted.
Roger that.

The line thickness varies oddly.
I'm convinced. (edited to fix a unit)
