Field dictionary
| field | meaning |
|---|---|
| status | announced · reported (press-only, vendor unconfirmed) · extended · deadline_passed · shut_down · reversed |
| shutdown_date | the sourced date service stops; null renders "date not yet confirmed" — we never guess dates |
| export_deadline | last sourced day to export data (≤ shutdown date; post-shutdown grace windows are described in prose fields) |
| notice_days | derived: shutdown_date − announced_on, only when both are sourced |
| migration_options | factual, data-derived alternatives — free forever, never sold. The one sponsored slot on event pages is separate, labeled, and excluded from every dataset output |
| sources | system-of-record URLs with access dates — an event exists only with one |
| change_log | append-only dated history incl. extensions and reversals |
