A practical worksheet for the 27–28 October meeting: separate the rate decision, its explanation and expectations about what comes next.
The Meridian Data Desk
Analysis & explainers
Original calculations, country comparisons and charts from official public data. Each article shows its method, observation period and sources.
Publication schedule: Monday, after 10:00 UTC — a currency comparison for the completed week. Thursday, after 10:00 UTC — check EU unemployment data and publish when a new common month is available. The server runs at 24 minutes past the hour. Unchanged data do not create another article; revisions update the existing report with a note. A missing or invalid dataset delays the issue.
Data reports are automated statistical analyses. Our scheduled features cover games, technology, business, trading and politics. They use dated primary sources, distinguish company claims from our analysis, and label hypothetical examples. We do not claim hands-on tests we have not performed.

EU unemployment in August 2026: the gaps behind the 6.1% headline

Games, technology, business & politics: publication calendar
Nine prepared analyses and explainers, 23 October–20 November 2026. Tuesdays and Fridays at 10:24 UTC. Each names its dated sources; game coverage is based on published material, not a claimed playtest. Future texts stay private until release. Before publication, the server checks source availability and selected key facts. A failed check holds the article; this is not independent verification of the source.

These nine prepared features finish on 20 November. The continuing server-generated schedule below starts on 24 November; currency and unemployment reports also continue.
Regular publication after 20 November
The calendar continues without an end date. New issues are assembled on the server from current source data; they do not depend on a desktop computer or a prewritten monthly queue.
- Tuesday, 10:24 UTC, from 24 November: recent Steam releases — US prices, native-platform listings and calculated review proportions. A sampled comparison, not a hands-on review.
- Friday, 10:24 UTC, from 27 November: US Treasury yields — changes across five maturities and the 10-year/2-year gap.
- Monday, 10:24 UTC: the existing completed-week currency comparison.
- Thursday, 10:24 UTC: EU unemployment when a new comparable month or a revision is available.
Duplicate or stale data do not create another article. A missing source or too few eligible games holds that issue; the server retries later. Delayed runs produce the latest eligible issue, not a backlog of stale weekly editions. Each report identifies its sources, calculation method and observation date. Publishing method and limitations.
