How it works
Methodology & sources
GovPulse never invents numbers. Real values come from open APIs; anything not yet connected is labelled SAMPLE.
Pipeline
A Python script pulls the World Bank API nightly via GitHub Actions. Last run: 2026-10-18T04:43Z UTC.
Freshness
Official statistics are annual and usually lag 1–2 years. Each KPI shows its data year and the World Bank update date.
Context rules
Claim checks pair each metric with a counter-metric over a ~10-year window. Up/down colours always come with arrows.
