Definitions
In plain terms
Before comparing volume through time, the builder must know whether the values are raw or adjusted and must keep that choice consistent.
Technical
The pilot treats the volume unit and adjustment basis as stable series identity fields; changing either field starts a different series rather than silently joining incompatible observations.
Scope
The McClellan sources establish a volume-based method but do not mandate one universal modern feed or adjustment policy; stability here is a Fintech Builder contract choice.
Examples
- A series labelled raw reported shares must not silently switch to split-adjusted volume halfway through.
Common misconceptions
- Two providers' volume histories are not automatically comparable because they share a ticker and date.
