abstract: For analyzing published and unpublished tables, from open-data portals and
  statistical agencies to a researcher's own data, so that a result can be traced
  to the exact data behind it and checked again afterwards. A 'capsule' records where
  each source came from, its Secure Hash Algorithm 256 ('SHA-256') hash, the schema
  it should have and an archived copy in the Internet Archive 'Wayback Machine' ('web.archive.org');
  sources are found through the Comprehensive Knowledge Archive Network ('CKAN', 'ckan.org').
  Run again, a capsule says whether each source still matches and, if it does not,
  how its distribution moved (Kolmogorov-Smirnov, chi-square, population stability
  index and 'Benford' first-digit screens), and when a source cannot be reached it
  runs on schema-driven synthetic data that is marked as such. Capsules can be signed
  with keyed hashes ('HMAC-SHA-256', RFC 2104) or with the post-quantum signature
  standards 'ML-DSA' (FIPS 204), 'SLH-DSA' (FIPS 205) and 'XMSS' (RFC 8391), implemented
  from the standards with no system cryptography library and checked against 'OpenSSL'
  3.5 and the known-answer vectors of 'NIST' (the US National Institute of Standards
  and Technology). For the administrative tables these capsules usually hold, it computes
  period-over-period change with exact intervals, trends (Mann-Kendall with 'Theil-Sen'
  slopes), rates, and the bounds that rounding and suppression in a release imply;
  small-area rates with the empirical Bayes shrinkage of Clayton and 'Kaldor' (1987)
  DOI 10.2307/2532003; self-exciting event series as 'Hawkes' processes; custodial
  populations by stock-and-flow measures; and the burden of air pollution from dispersion
  to attributable deaths.
