Operational closure profile
What makes the Mexico calendar operationally different
The country page now reads the holiday list as a planning surface: density, month clusters, type mix, and bridge-day pressure. These signals are derived from the same retained holiday rows rather than generic country copy.
Bridge-day pressure
6 public holidays fall on Monday or Friday, so long weekends are already built into the calendar rather than needing bridge days.
Month clustering
Public holidays cluster most strongly in January (1), February (1), March (1), April (1).
Dataset type mix
Dataset type mix is led by 7 public entries; next strongest is 2 bank. This is separate from legal closure strength; always confirm local substitution and sector rules.
