 "vintage": "CURRENT VINTAGE ONLY: this snapshot carries the series as published at the retrieval date, revisions included. Original first-published values for past years are not preserved here \u2014 which is exactly the vintage limitation the platform states rather than hides. The public forecast register, by contrast, always scores against figures as first published.",
