Idea

When statistics compare two periods (month over month, year over year), say when they hold different numbers of Holidays or Event Days, for example: "2 holidays this period vs 0 in the comparison period". Show the counts only, with no normalization.

Context

Decided while triaging #202 (2026-10-02):

Holidays are expected traffic and stay in period totals.
Comparisons can then differ partly because of the calendar: a March with Carnival against a March without it.
Annotating the counts is honest and cheap, and lets readers, including investors, judge for themselves.
Normalizing would mean modelling holiday impact and was rejected for now.

Outside the historical backfill milestone.

To settle

Which comparisons get it: period KPIs, the investor deck, CSV export.
Are Event Days counted separately from Holidays?
Is it shown always, or only when the counts differ?
Wording in EN and ES.

Refs #161, #202.

Should holidays be excluded from statistics, or are they expected traffic? #202
