DATA CAVEATS
The below indicates the number of reads for the periods requested and data available to the MPS.
Please note the data will contain duplicated reads, as these numbers are not representative of unique VRMs and so there will be instances of the same VRM being duplicated multiple times within these results.
These are VRMs scanned by the MPS and not TFL.
