Methodology
Transparency in data sourcing is critical to macroeconomic analysis.
Primary Sources
All data cited within our dashboards (Inflation, GDP, Employment) is sourced directly from tier-1 government and intergovernmental agencies:
- Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS)
- Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA)
- Federal Reserve Economic Data (FRED)
Calculator Logic
Our calculators are built using client-side Alpine.js. We explicitly display the underlying mathematical formula beneath every calculator so users can verify the logic. We do not use proprietary black-box algorithms.
