SQL PERCENTILE_CONT over daily-best per-product-per-day observed in-stock prices
2 frozen months for .45-70 Government, 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: April 2026, May 2026, June 2026, July 2026, and August 2026. Points are shown unconnected: a line between two months would claim their tracked retailer sets were comparable, and that has not been established for this series.
