Hi,
I recently joined SimFin+, and am enjoying much better data availability. I find the growth_signals data pulled through python very useful to screen the stocks, but noticed it is not available for some stocks and years. For example, MDXG didn't have it prior to 2019, and even 2019 did not have all the metrics. Can you back-populate this data more to improve its availability in overall? Thanks.

For MDXG there is a "gap" in the data for the balance sheet for 2018 because the company stopped reporting data at that time (not sure why, this is very rare though):

The data stops in the bulk download once there is a gap in any of the statements, so this is the reason for the limited data of MDXG. Once you have gaps in the data other problems arise, so we decided to include only time series without gaps in our bulk output (in the web API you can still request prior periods).
Our goal is to have all data quarterly up to the year 2000 by the end of 2022, and to cover also a lot more companies than currently in the database by then.
