WORLD PREDICTA
DATA COVERAGE REGISTER

What we know. What we do not. What comes next.

WorldPredicta is an open-data aggregation product, not one secret database. This page separates sources that are actually serving the product from planned and restricted feeds.

How to read this page

Connected means data reaches a current product surface. It does not mean the source covers every country or is cleared for a future paid plan. Next means the source is valuable but not yet part of public answers. Restricted means the product fails closed until permission or a contract exists.

The machine-readable catalog is available at /api/v1/data-sources. Commercial rights remain separately controlled in the source-rights register.

Connected and serving

These sources currently contribute to a public WorldPredicta surface through a bounded collector or map layer.

Connected, but incomplete

Part of the source is in use, while important datasets, geography or commercial rights are still missing.

Why a country can still be missing an answer

One country may publish inflation monthly, unemployment quarterly and health outcomes annually. WorldPredicta keeps those clocks separate. It does not label annual GDP “live,” does not turn a stale value into a current grade, and does not answer a specific health, mineral or political question with an adjacent economic paragraph.
