Another week of growth, +3 billion new rows covering sports analytics, disaster response, and public health. Platform Scale - Rows: 407.8B (+3B) - Tables: 439,321 (+898) - Datasets: 68,898 (+382) Highlights - Ultimate Soccer Dataset expansion - FEMA - CDC / ATSDR Social Vulnerability Index (SVI)

We’ve just crossed another major milestone in our mission to organize the world’s structured data. This week’s scale: • 400.9 billion rows (+5B) • 437,747 tables (+1K) • 68,445 datasets (+272) We also added the EU Funding & Tenders Portal - making funding and research data more accessible.

Baselight went from zero to 431K tables in its first year. That growth matters less for the number than for what it represents: broad, actionable coverage across sports, finance, macro, public policy, healthcare, climate, demographics, blockchains, and research.

Baselight weekly update: • Datasets: 65,759 (▲ +295) • Tables: 323,977 (▲ +450) • Storage: 73 TB (▲ +2TB) New high-impact data now live: • BLS: official labor & inflation stats • United For ALICE: households struggling above poverty • HRSA: healthcare access Focused on high-value, query-ready data
