| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| contract | string | Names the shape of this response so a relocated key is a detectable version, not a silent None. |
| now | integer | |
| now_utc | string | |
| what_this_is | string | |
| shipped | object | Counts only. A published score on a governance metric is a target; see src/provenance.ts. |
| rows | array | |
| unjoined | array | The absences, as rows. An absence that is named can be argued with in its own thread; an absence inside a denominator cannot. |
| boundary | string | |
