What counts
The homepage says the company has shut down, is winding down or has closed. The company's statement is quoted; its observation date is not necessarily the closure date. 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.
13 observations cannot be allocated to a quarter. Inspect their date ranges. Zero counted changes does not establish that nothing changed.
No qualifying observations recorded for this period.
