What is being built, and what is not
Written down so it can be held to. Nothing here is a promise with a date attached.
In order
Every country, real geometry, the monitor
238 countries with provenance marks, a choropleth map and a 3D globe drawn from real boundaries, a sortable world table with country profiles, and live open data beside it.
DoneCoalitions and the exact decomposition
A lever can be imposed by a whole bloc at once, and growth, inflation and unemployment are built as a sum of named terms so the drill down reconciles to the headline.
DoneSub national regions for the largest economies
States and provinces for the countries where a national average hides more than it shows. The data layer is the work, not the map.
In progressFirms and commodities as first class objects
Click a commodity or an industry rather than only a country. The concept always included these, and the state layer has to be defensible before they are worth adding.
In progressBacktesting against the record
Run the model from a past year with only what was known then, and score it against what happened. The result goes on the method page whichever way it comes out.
PlannedShared scenario libraries
A team keeping one set of scenarios and one set of data overrides, so two people arguing are at least arguing about the same world.
PlannedA confident single number
It would be easy to add and it would be the end of the product. The answer is a distribution, and it will stay one.
DeclinedWhat would you build next
The order above is a judgement, not a decree. If something you need is missing, say so through the contact form and it gets weighed against the rest.
