How we count impact
Every number above is counted from our own content collections at build time, so it stays accurate as the library grows. We deliberately do not publish figures such as people reached, countries served, or downloads until we have verified analytics to back them — we would rather show fewer numbers than invented ones. See our transparency and editorial independence pages for how we are funded and governed.
