Changes in Portugal's public data, ranked by what actually moved: legal thresholds crossed, series records, accelerations and deviations from the norm. Every item carries its comparison inside the sentence and links to the data behind it. No language model: arithmetic over official sources only.
The award, made on 25 September 2026. of the Public Contracts Code, uses the direct‑award regime just below the €20,000 threshold, with no public tender.
No other changes in the data we watch today. Last change, in contracts: 27 September.
This brief gathered 7 candidates from BASE/IMPIC and published the one highest-scoring. A fact that ran in an earlier brief only returns when its value changes; a standing fact repeats at most once a fortnight. The score weighs the type of change (threshold crossed > record > acceleration > movement > deviation > standing state), magnitude and freshness; a fact older than its source's publication cadence is ineligible, which is why a 2020 figure can never appear in a 2026 brief.
