Field notes
The methodology says each entry links to the responsible public authority and uses one representative pathway per country and permit category, rather than presenting a country-wide average. It distinguishes measured averages and P75 figures from targets, legal maximums and backlogs. Where official data is missing, community-backed reports may be included with their source, place, period and community label.
