What a sourced report contains

Every report is assembled from stored evidence records and delivered as PowerPoint, PDF, PNG and CSV. Each file states the same six things, so any figure can be traced back to the source it came from.

Sources
The provider, indicator, licence and retrieval date behind every value.
Period
The observation years covered, with the year each figure belongs to.
Units
The unit of each indicator, stated on every row.
Coverage caveats
An indicator with no stored observation is named, never estimated.
Generation date
When the file was produced and by which account.
Method
That values are read from stored evidence, with projections kept apart.

Open the coverage page to see exactly which indicators are held for each country, and when each was last retrieved. Nothing is presented as held until a retrieval has actually stored it.

Start from a scope, not a subscription

Open a request with the geography, question, indicators and period you need. Coverage is checked against the stored evidence first, then the scope is priced. Nothing is charged at request time, and you accept the price before any work begins.

A quote is a commitment of scope. It is not a payment, and no payment provider is connected to this app, so nothing is recorded as money received.
