Firm x month panel of FDA recall enforcement velocity from the official keyless openFDA enforcement APIs (food, drug, device). Each firm's monthly recalls are canonicalized and scored with the documented 0-100 risk composite from the sibling record-level dataset (classification severity + distribution scope + reason severity + ongoing status); trailing-3-month severity volume is compared against the prior 3 months to measure acceleration. A documented 0-100 velocity_score blends recent severity, acceleration, 12-month persistence, recall volume, and new-entrant status, ranked deterministically as velocity_rank. The panel covers the 12 complete calendar months before the feed last_updated (a ~23-month sweep supplies the full lookback); only factual recall metadata is stored. Caveat: the feed lags the real enforcement calendar by ~10 days, and report_date is the FDA publication date, not the recall initiation date. Primary key: (firm_canonical, month). Cadence: monthly.

Column	Type	Description
firm_canonical	string	Canonical firm key (corporate suffixes and location tails stripped); primary key part 1.
month	string	Panel month, YYYY-MM (complete calendar months only); primary key part 2. (unit: date)
firm_country_code	string	Modal firm country over the sweep, ISO alpha-3; null when unresolvable.
recall_count	integer	Recalls attributed to the firm this month. (unit: count)
class_i_count	integer	Class I recalls this month. (unit: count)
class_ii_count	integer	Class II recalls this month. (unit: count)
class_iii_count	integer	Class III recalls this month. (unit: count)
severity_volume	float	Sum of the 0-100 recall-risk composite over this month's recalls. (unit: 0-100)
severity_volume_t3	float	Severity volume over the trailing 3 months (m-2..m). (unit: 0-100)
severity_volume_p3	float	Severity volume over the prior 3 months (m-5..m-3). (unit: 0-100)
recall_count_t12	integer	Recall count over the trailing 12 months (m-11..m). (unit: count)
months_active_t12	integer	Distinct months with >= 1 recall over m-11..m. (unit: count)
repeat_offender	boolean	True when recall_count_t12 >= 3. (unit: boolean)
new_entrant	boolean	True when the firm's first recall in the sweep falls inside the trailing 3 months. (unit: boolean)
momentum	float	(sev_t3 - sev_p3) / (sev_t3 + sev_p3 + 1), in (-1, 1). (unit: ratio)
velocity_score	float	0-100 velocity composite: 35% recent severity volume (log-scaled), 25% positive momentum, 20% 12-month persistence, 15% recall volume (log-scaled), 5% new-entrant flag. (unit: 0-100)
velocity_trend	string	new / accelerating (momentum > 0.05) / decelerating (momentum < -0.05) / stable.
velocity_rank	integer	Deterministic rank: velocity_score desc, severity_volume_t3 desc, recall_count_t12 desc, firm_canonical asc. (unit: rank)
top_reason_category	string	Modal reason category this month (ties broken lexicographically).
reason_categories	string	Distinct reason categories this month, pipe-joined.
product_lines	string	Distinct enforcement lines this month (food/drug/device), pipe-joined.
openfda_url	string	openFDA sweep query URL(s) behind this firm-month, pipe-joined. (unit: URL)
asof_date	string	Sweep window end (feed last_updated). (unit: date)
row_hash	string	Deterministic 16-hex row hash.
