## One-sentence finding

`[WITHHELD UNTIL PUBLICATION GATE PASSES]`

## What is new

M-25-22. The fixed study frame spans January 2024 through August 2026.

## Numbers safe to discuss before validation

- 1,532 candidate notices
- 4,699 downloaded public attachments
- 353 OCR-processed PDFs
- 23 notice-resource lookups unavailable from the public endpoint
