The market, drawn to scaleThe market

Each slice is one stage, drawn to scale — 1,051 processes in matters still open, in the order a sale travels. Cobalt deepens as a process advances; grey is concluded; the hatch is a process no filing has staged.

What each sale went for is for subscribers

The stated price, beside the purchaser. The stages, the counts and who bought are open to everyone.
