METHOD / CALCULATIONDecision supported: Whether the components genuinely sum to the stated whole and can support a composition chart. Required inputs: Published components or a published total plus a clearly labelled derived remainder. 1. Name the whole. 2. Check mutually exclusive components. 3. Derive a remainder only by transparent subtraction. 4. Use no more than five donut categories. 5. Move higher-cardinality composition to ranked or stacked bars. Failure modes: Overlapping categories do not form a whole. Rounded shares may not sum exactly to 100. A remainder inherits any error in the published component.
CAVEATThe remainder is derived, not separately observed; both parts inherit revisions to the published access estimate.

Methodology & sources

Last updated: Sep 16, 2026

Methodology

Decision supported: Whether the components genuinely sum to the stated whole and can support a composition chart.

Required inputs: Published components or a published total plus a clearly labelled derived remainder.

1. Name the whole.

2. Check mutually exclusive components.

3. Derive a remainder only by transparent subtraction.

4. Use no more than five donut categories.

5. Move higher-cardinality composition to ranked or stacked bars.

Failure modes: Overlapping categories do not form a whole. Rounded shares may not sum exactly to 100. A remainder inherits any error in the published component.

Comparisons are informative, not definitive. See each source for definitions and limits.
