Why this module's signal looks the way it does
Public pages show banded signals only — ‘low / mid / high First-rate’, a mean-mark band, a cohort-size band, and the years we have data for. We don't publish exact percentages on indexable pages so that small cohorts can't be re-identified, and so the moat we've built up doesn't end up in someone else's training data.
Logged-in beta users see the year-by-year distribution, comparisons against sibling modules, and notes on assessment style. Each module page also gets a short editorial note about historical context — coursework changes, lecturer handovers, or cohort-size shifts that matter for interpretation.
