These values are a cached build-time snapshot for crawlers and non-JavaScript readers. The live dashboard refreshes in the browser from public grid and carbon-intensity sources.
Live values can move before settled daily reports are available, so this page pairs the browser-refreshed dashboard with generated source-backed daily context.
