A cell shows a figure only when it rests on an open official source. “Assessment pending open data” means the figure rests on a source we may not publish yet: it carries no number and no band, is hatched on the map and adds no points to the ranking, until an open national figure replaces it. “At least Medium” means only one side of the trade has an open figure: the band is a floor, not the full assessment.
