Field notes

The corpus is organized by board, subject, class, edition, and historical status, with separate pages for axes, methods, gaps, and data. Current comparisons use English-medium books only, while 43 Punjab editions from 1949–2005 are kept outside the present-day totals. The site also distinguishes what pupils must write in examinations from what they merely read, a methodological boundary carried into its proposed tests of curricular effects.
