-## A layoff record you can audit, not just download
-
-This dataset is one cut of a single daily rebuild: **61,330 US WARN Act
-layoff notices from 48 state agencies, 1988 to today**, one schema, no
-login, no delay, CC BY 4.0. Snapshot as of **2026-09-16**; the files above are
-rebuilt every day, so the live count is the truth.
-
-Several projects publish a current WARN scrape and two of them carry more rows
-than we do. None of them publish what the records **used to say**:
-
-- **617 observed changes to already-published notices, logged daily since 2026-08-31.**
-  `data/revisions.csv` records every field that differed between two consecutive
-  daily builds — employee counts, effective dates, notice types, company names —
-  with the old value, the new value and the date we saw it. We publish the
-  observation and not the cause: a change is equally explained by the agency
-  amending the notice or by our own parser improving, and we do not guess which
-  (see `data/revisions.README.txt`). A scrape that starts tomorrow cannot backfill
-  any of it; it only exists if someone was watching.
-- **6,799 notices whose state agency page no longer lists them.** Agencies
-  take notices down. We keep them, flagged as archive-only, so a count you ran
-  last year still reconciles.
-- **Point-in-time employer identity.** The ticker crosswalk resolves a filer to
-  the company as it existed at the time of the notice — Kmart, Sears Holdings,
-  Symantec — not to whatever is on today's ticker file.
-
-If you have to defend a number to an editor, a referee or a compliance reviewer,
-that provenance layer is the part you cannot rebuild yourself.
