First build of The Doom Number: 24 rows, one per statement, by named people, reports, surveys and signed statements, each dated and sourced, with the verdict on whether the statement was reached where it was published. Two open questions and one absent row (a figure attributed to Jacob Coxon that the ledger could not find in any statement of his).

Last updated 16 September 2026. Every record re verified 16 September 2026. The ledger is checked weekly, every Monday, and the same day a named person states a new figure in public.
