A basic IR organisation doubt – reports vs the body itself

I keep ticking the wrong option when a question has a report (World Bank, IMF, UNDP, WEF etc.) and a similar-sounding index. I don't want a giant table of every report ever.

Is the sensible method just: PYQ list of reports that have actually been asked + whatever appears in this year's CA, and ignore the rest?

That's exactly what I do. A living one-page table: report / body / what it measures, only if a PYQ or this year's compilation mentioned it. The giant 200-row tables are how I used to waste Sundays.

Same. I also write one example country or India's rank only if the monthly mentioned it, not from a random website, because those numbers go stale.

One-page living table it is. Thanks.
