The operations diary
The last 14 days as the software saw them. a diary with no feelings in it, which is more than most. Source reads come from each source's own health log (the last 30 fetches per source, so older days thin out); items are counted by the date they were shown with; spend is metered by the gateway that every model call passes through.
