How ECONDEX works
ECONDEX has two parts. Country data covers economic and development indicators for every country, from the World Bank, with advanced metrics calculated in code. Latest publishes short, plain-English readings of US economic releases. Neither does original reporting, interviews or forecasting.
Where the numbers come from
Country data comes from the World Bank's World Development Indicators (CC BY 4.0). US releases come from the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Bureau of Economic Analysis, retrieved through the FRED® API of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis. We never rewrite other publications' articles. Every page links to its source.
What the AI does, and does not do
- All arithmetic (changes, comparisons, ranges) is done by ordinary code, not by an AI model.
- An AI model writes the prose, but only from a numbered list of those calculated facts. It may not add background, causes or predictions.
- Automated tests reject any draft containing a number that is not in the list, any uncited sentence, or any forecast wording. A second AI model then checks the draft against the facts.
- A human editor approves articles before publication unless the article type has earned automatic publication through a clean record.
