- Only recorded asylum grants and denials enter this denominator; other results are excluded. Proceedings are not people. Historical data is not an individual outcome prediction.
- Each measure below has its own eligible records. Its denominator differs from the grant-and-denial total.
- Judge means the code stored on the proceeding, not independently verified decision authorship. Historical association and checked official listing are separate.
- A filing record is a proxy, not proof of legal assistance or a causal effect.
- Small sample: fewer than 100 grant or denial records. The share can change sharply.
