A quarter in this scenario is defined as "the 3 months preceding this day", as projects typically report every 3 months on a somewhat arbitrary day (3rd wednesday), and some projects are asked to report again the following month.

Thus, it's highly likely that the reports were not made _exactly_ 3 months apart (usually there can be up to a weeks worth of hidden extra data due to the 3rd wednesday rule), and therefore differ a bit in the numbers that are used.

For instance, one report could be filed on March 10th, and the next on June 17th, leaving the time between 10th and 17th to skew the stats.

HTH.

Today’s stats:
- 322 PRs opened on GitHub, past quarter (-13% decrease)
- 321 PRs closed on GitHub, past quarter (-12% decrease)

Previous quarter:
- 324 PRs opened on GitHub
- 325 PRs closed on GitHub

Or am I misunderstanding how the percentages are figured?
