    Final Form 5500 for 1 plan; the following plan year is not yet on the record
    Rule: On the 2022 and 2023 tapes, 79 to 80% of sponsors that marked a return final were absent from the RAW Form 5500 record the following plan year (any size, any industry, EIN and successor), against 1.8 to 2.1% of sponsors that did not; that is next-year absence, not a sale rate
