## How to Interpret Data

Resources are scored using a rule-based system across all comparison attributes. Each resource receives points based on its coverage and quality in each dimension. The total score (displayed as "X of 100") represents the aggregated rating. Higher scores indicate broader coverage and better data quality. The comparison matrix on resource type pages and the global comparison page allows side-by-side evaluation of all resources.

## Data Organization

Content is organized hierarchically:
1. **Resource Types** group sources by format (calculator, online table, book, etc.)
2. **Resources** are individual data sources, each belonging to a resource type
3. **Attributes** define comparison criteria, grouped into categories
4. **Content Items** link resources to attributes with values, availability flags, and comments

Each resource detail page shows the full breakdown of scores, descriptions, and Q&A content specific to that source.
