Before calculating a percentage change, verify that both observations measure the same thing over comparable windows. The usual calculation is (new − old) / old × 100, provided the old value is nonzero.
If the baseline is zero or missing, report the absolute difference and explain that the percentage is undefined. Record timestamps and sources with the result so another reader can reproduce it.
