* Index 2025 values are retroactively computed with the current methodology applied to the 2025 raw data, not the numbers originally published in 2025. Year-over-year Δ is therefore a strict apples-to-apples comparison rather than a methodology-plus-data comparison. See the methodology page Version & Changelog for the full formula-change history.
