Filed values unchanged. Calculations clearly labeled.

Every number on Astrelis Atlas is one of three things, and says which. A Reported value is copied from a public primary source — Medicare cost reports, IHS publications, HRSA program data, CMS files — exactly as the provider filed it or the agency published it; we never impute, estimate, or editorially correct one. An Astrelis calculation is a standard formula applied to unchanged reported inputs — a margin, a ratio, a per-unit rate, a peer percentile — with the formula shown. An Illustrative estimate is a benchmark gap, a published multiplier, or a scenario: useful for a conversation, never a measurement, and boxed off so it cannot be read as one.

We exercise judgment about comparisons, not about values: a filing that is implausible on its face stays visible and clearly labeled, but is excluded from peer statistics so one bad filing cannot distort a benchmark.

Nothing populated in a source is silently absent. Every measure on a profile carries three attributes: a display state, its provenance (source, period, and — for calculations — numerator, denominator, and formula), and a peer state (included in peer statistics, or excluded with the reason). The only states a page prints are: Reported value · Reported value, outside expected range · Not reported in source · Not applicable to this filing · Source mapping pending · Astrelis calculation · Astrelis calculation unavailable · Illustrative estimate.

Three rules follow. A populated source value always renders. A calculation outside its expected range still renders, labeled “outside expected range, excluded from chart scale and peer statistics” — the chart and the peer pools skip it; the reader does not. And where our extraction mapping cannot yet reconcile a filing, the page shows the filed inputs (for example: receivables, revenue, and fiscal-period days) and marks only the derived calculation unavailable, under Source mapping pending. The build fails when any populated source value lacks a visible public state — this system is enforced by a release gate, not by habit.

Where public sources do not collect something, we say so instead of filling the gap. Other vendors sell data as they believe it should read. We show you what was actually filed, what we computed from it, and what we are only estimating. If a number surprises you, pull the filing: it is in there.
