Board diversity
Per-editor diversity indicators. Each editor is counted once (composite identity key). The Shannon columns use Pielou's normalisation J = H / ln(k) so values are comparable across entities with different numbers of categories. See the methodology for full definitions, use cases, and references (Shannon 1948; Pielou 1966; Jost 2006).
