The Direct Index, quarter by quarter

Every quarter, one publication: cities ranked by kind, countries, booking and ordering vendors, website builders, what each assistant did, what changed, and the method. A page, a PDF, a dataset, a share image, and a press release per city in its language. The running quarter is a preview that updates daily; the edition is final when the quarter ends.
