  3. What constitutes a statistic in the Observatório Automóvel?

    A statistic is a graphic representation of one or more relevant indicators to respond to a certain need for information and a certain type of stakeholders. Through each statistic, the indicators that compose it are presented in a visual and summarized manner, facilitating the understanding of the presented information. The statistic is interactive, since, according to the dimensions and possible filters for the indicator(s) presented, the user can change/filter by the values of the dimensions that most interest his need for information. In addition, the statistics are updated in real-time according to the periodicity available for the sources of information on which they are based.

  4. What constitutes a report in the Observatório Automóvel?

    A report is an instrument that provides strategic information for the analysis of a specific theme and/or objective. Usually, the report presents more than one statistic and may be composed of other types of content such as explanatory texts/information analysis, images, videos, links, or attachments. The report statistics can be interactive, allowing the user to change filters on the dimensions, or static, not allowing the user to change filters (for example, when a report presents information for a specific theme for a specific year (date)).
