How We Crunch the Numbers
Good research makes its working visible. Our notes record the source, transformation, and timing behind each indicator.
Source first
We use FRED, BLS, SEC filings, and documented proprietary surveys. The source appears beside every series.
Revisions are visible
Quarterly notes explain benchmark changes, seasonal adjustments, and revised historical values.
Made for checking
Analysts can trace a headline number back to its series and read the limits before citing it.
