File 16 (all-time): full historical case registry, n=2118, back to earliest IVO data.
File 08 (historical demographics) was truncated at 2021-12-17 — EXCLUDED from this extract.
File 15 (assessments) is TYPE1-only — EXCLUDED as not board-ready.
No year-by-year case breakdown: source files 06/10/11/13/16 contain no date columns.
demographics stop Dec 2021 pending IVO re-export: demographic history limited to current snapshot.
