Data & Methodology
Where does Souvera's data come from?
Our primary data sources are international institutions including the International Monetary Fund (IMF), World Bank, United Nations (UNCTAD), African Development Bank, Caribbean Development Bank, and official national statistical agencies. Every data point carries source attribution.
How often is data updated?
Macroeconomic indicators are updated as official sources publish new data, typically quarterly or annually depending on the metric and source. We do not claim high-frequency updates unless connected to live monitoring systems.
Does Souvera use AI?
Yes, Souvera uses governed AI-assisted analysis to support anomaly detection, source comparison, signal clustering, and executive briefing preparation. AI outputs are reviewed before publication and never replace official source data. AI does not make autonomous decisions or guarantee predictions.
How does Souvera handle data gaps?
We acknowledge data gaps common in emerging markets. When official data is unavailable or outdated, we clearly indicate this rather than presenting estimates as confirmed figures. Sources with incomplete coverage are marked as "Partial" status in our source registry.
