How complete is this?
Short answer: not very, yet. We are still finding and checking groups. This page shows where we are.
Treat every estimate here as a floor. The groups that are hardest to find are hard for every method we use, so the real number is likely higher.

How close are we?
We compare lists from different methods to estimate how many groups exist in each slice. Where two methods find mostly the same groups, we are close to done.
We have not run the first estimate yet. When we do, it will show here.
