How we decide what can be compared
- ComparableSame kind of number, unit, timing and point in the chain. Drawn together.
- ConvertibleOne exact, stated conversion makes them match, such as bushels to tons. The conversion is shown.
- Spread onlyPrices at different points, such as farm and store. Two labelled lines, never one difference.
- Context onlyDifferent levels, such as county, state and US. Each line says its level.
- Can't compareDifferent kinds of number. We say why and offer what would work.
A different grade or quality of the same product can be compared, with the grade written on its line.
