Seasonal completeness grid
StatMedAnalysis | 9 November 2026
Use aggregate or synthetic process observations.

Define one row per year and one column per phase. Each cell must carry value, exposure and availability status. Add columns for longer cycles.
Phase definition and fiscal/calendar alignment: ________________________________
Year | Phase 1 | Phase 2 | Phase 3 | Phase 4 | Changed collection rule?
____ | _______ | _______ | _______ | _______ | _______________________
____ | _______ | _______ | _______ | _______ | _______________________
Phase | Observed years | Expected years | Missing reason | Comparable exposure?
_____ | ______________ | ______________ | ______________ | ____________________
1. Check one record per intended year–phase cell. Resolve duplicate keys.
2. Calculate summaries within phase and report the number of contributing years.
3. Document whether the exposure requires a rate rather than a raw count.
Fictional example: two years × four quarters give eight expected cells. Seven observed quarters and one delayed report give 7/8 coverage. Mark the delayed report as pending and leave its value blank.
Completion check: an observed zero has a distinct status from a pending report.
