Weekly transit totals from independent tracking, alongside this platform's own total for the same calendar week and the ratio between them. The two measure different populations: the daily count at /api/seo/hormuz sees only vessels broadcasting AIS, while these totals include vessels crossing with transponders off. The daily count has run 2.0-3.1x lower week by week and the gap is widening. Compare them; never sum or average them, since a blend would be true of neither. `ours` is summed from the same calendar days as each independent week, and is null for any week not fully covered rather than reported as a misleading partial. Query param `weeks` (1-260, default 52).

## Query parameters

- `weeks` integer

## Response `200`

Weekly independent totals with the ratio to this platform's own count
