    "The last included month is selected by a coverage heuristic in fv_vpd_crime_refresh.py, not certified complete by VPD. It compares recent monthly volumes and checks the last recorded day.",
    "The snapshot generation timestamp is when FanVancouver built this aggregate, not the date VPD published or independently verified it.",

    "Year-over-year neighbourhood changes are supplied by the snapshot. A blank is unavailable, not zero. Percent changes are not exposure-adjusted crime rates.",
    "FanVancouver refreshes this snapshot weekly. Check its timestamp before publication and consult the official source for current records.",
