“Latest at Source” is the date of the most recent data point we hold — if this is old, it means the source (ABS, RBA, etc.) hasn’t published newer data yet. “Pipeline” shows whether our system recently checked for updates: “Current” means we checked within the expected window; “Behind” means our pipeline hasn’t refreshed this metric recently. Derived metrics are calculated from other metrics in the dashboard.
