Why it's here

The Behavior Atlas is the modern descendant of this bank. We've seeded a curated subset of its summary records into Browse so they sit beside present-day deposits — same fields, same metrics, comparable side by side. Each historical record is tagged so you can include or exclude 1971 data from any view.

The full PDF is hosted below. Pinpoint naming, procedure codes, and the A/C/D aim taxonomy used throughout the Atlas all originate here.
