The data behind the tools

Every tool here is built on public data. This is the catalog of those datasets — each one sourced, normalized, and documented, so anyone can understand exactly what's behind a number or reuse the data themselves.

This library grows as new tools arrive. Not every tool draws on the same data — each dataset that underpins a project gets its own entry here.
