Statistics
The Statistics section of the welcome page shows the following charts:
- Distribution of flag counts - we count the flags for each notice, then count the notices by different flag counts, so you can see how many notices have 0 flags, 1 flag, 2 flags, and so on.
- Rate of redflagged notices - for each quarter we count the notices (green), and the notices which have at least one flag (red).
- Total value of contracts per year for each contract type - we group notices by year and contract type (works, supply, service), then summarize the total final values in each category.
These charts are updated once every day, when the daily crawl procedure finishes.
Every chart has options for printing and exporting in various formats, click on the button in the top right corner of a chart.
