+## Composition
+
+Measured on this exact slice: **199,916** documents (80.2%) carry 2,000+
+characters of text, 20,097 (8.1%) carry 200-1,999, and 29,237
+(11.7%) are under 200 characters. The short ones are real records, not errors: certiorari
+denials, one-line orders, and judgment entries. They are kept deliberately (min_chars = 1)
+so this is the complete public record rather than a filtered subset. Filter on `len(text)` if you want
+only substantive opinions.
