How We Collect, Validate and Present Data
数据透明是 Gobob 平台的核心原则。这一页说明所有数据的来源、频率、处理方法与置信度。
Four Guiding Principles
All data presentation and processing adheres to the following principles
Traceable
Every data point cites its original source. Raw data can be downloaded and historical snapshots verified via the Wayback Machine.
Reproducible
All data is collected via automated scripts. Anyone can follow the same workflow to obtain consistent results.
Unbiased
Gobob has no commercial relationships with any agencies or intermediaries. Data presentation does not favor any party.
Privacy-First
Platform data is strictly anonymized. No individual student data ever appears in public dashboards. Aggregated data requires N ≥ 30 to be displayed.
Data Source Inventory
All data sources are public — third-party authorities plus Gobob anonymized samples provide dual-source calibration
