What counts
A number the homepage claims (customers, users, transactions) grew by at least 10% since the previous check; both are quoted. A change counts in a quarter only when both checks it lies between fall in that quarter; the share is out of the startups with at least two visible captures in that quarter. Two captures do not guarantee a usable comparison, and observation frequency varies. Method.
737 observations cannot be allocated to a quarter. Inspect their date ranges. Zero counted changes does not establish that nothing changed.

- Creem: Now claims “190+ countries” on its homepage (was “100+ countries”).
