SQL PERCENTILE_CONT over daily-best per-product-per-day observed in-stock prices
6 frozen months for 16 gauge, March 2026 to September 2026. Each month is computed on its own from that month's observations and then locked; it is a level, not a change from the month before. Months between them without a published snapshot are left empty rather than estimated: August 2026. Points are shown unconnected: the set of tracked retailers behind each month was not comparable to the month before it, so no line is drawn between them.
