What stands out

#signature ⧉

33 work in Agriculture & Marine; 18 call it their main line

1.8× the number that call it their main line. The other 15 are counted in the sector they DO call their main line — they work in Agriculture & Marine as well, and the census counts them in both. That is why sector totals add up to more than the island does, and why every sentence here says "works in" rather than "is in".

Counts each organisation's primary sub-sector, so the bars sum to the sector, and each is the roll call the directory lists under that name.

15 further organisations work in Agriculture & Marine alongside another sector and are not in these bars: each is counted in the sub-sector of the sector it calls its main line. "Works in", never "is in". Farming leads, on 13 organisations.

What this chapter cannot yet say

At 18 organisations this sector sits below the count a published distribution needs, so most modules print their base rather than a shape.

How this chapter counts

#method ⧉

The bases every figure here divides by

This chapter counts over the 18 active organisations whose primary sector is Agriculture & Marine — 1% of the 3,582 with a primary sector on record; the wider 33 who work in Agriculture & Marine at all are counted in every sector they work in, and are used only where a sentence says “works in”. Each module then divides by what is actually on record for it — a parish for 14, a founding year for 7, a capability resolved to the graph for 13, opening hours that resolve to a weekly grid for 4 — and those bases are printed under every chart, because the denominator is part of the datum.

This sector’s own coverage was measured at 67% on 30 September 2026, by capture–recapture against Google's business listings for the Bailiwick, with every organisation that was itself added from those listings left out of the comparison so the two counts stay independent. Every count above is a floor.
