Study relationships between physical activity, economic releases, and sector-level outcomes using documented historical samples.
Backtest nowcasting hypotheses against the data vintage that was actually available on each historical date.
Combine standardized Metrivane factors with internal models without rebuilding every upstream observation pipeline.
Historical datasets preserve timestamps, source latency, model versions, and data vintages. Researchers can distinguish information available in real time from revisions published later.
Reconstruct each research date without accidentally introducing future information.
Compare initial estimates, intermediate updates, and the final pre-release forecast.
Keep first-release economic statistics separate from subsequently revised values.
Trace factors to source families, geographic coverage, transformations, and known limitations.
The research feed can publish new observations, factor changes, forecast revisions, and validation outcomes as separate event types—without overwriting the previous state.

Every published state receives a stable timestamp and remains queryable.
Subscribe to event notifications or request scheduled research snapshots.
Observation, factor, forecast, revision, and verification events use distinct schemas.
Material changes include affected factors, source availability, and model version.
The website currently displays illustrative data. Production update frequency will depend on source licensing, latency, coverage, and the researcher’s access plan.
Researchers can work at the level appropriate to their question rather than relying on a single headline index.
Normalized physical observations with timestamps and confidence metadata
Standardized measures of activity, congestion, flow, pressure, and utilization
Point estimates, confidence intervals, horizons, and model contributions
Every forecast state and the evidence responsible for material changes
Official releases, later revisions, baselines, and forecast-error measures
