Purpose and responsibility
World Market Atlas helps readers understand markets and economics through educational writing, analysis and interactive data. Gallus Herodicus is the editorial signature. Editorial responsibility remains with the publication, including when software or AI assists preparation.
Sources and dates
We prefer primary material such as company filings, central banks, statistical agencies and official releases. Data suppliers and secondary sources may also be used and are identified where relevant. A publication date, observation date and retrieval date can differ. Check each chart's source and as-of date; figures may be delayed, estimated or revised.
Facts, interpretation and models
Sourced observations are different from our interpretation and model outputs. Valuations, ratings and scenarios depend on assumptions, definitions and available data. A scenario is not a prediction or a verified future result. Compare methods and units before comparing figures across countries or providers.
AI assistance and translations
AI tools may assist research preparation, drafting, translation, illustration and data presentation. Their output can contain errors. Illustrations are not documentary evidence. Translations may differ in nuance; report discrepancies with a page link. Readers should check material claims against the cited original source, especially before a financial decision.
Corrections and updates
Report suspected factual or translation errors through our Contact page. We assess the evidence and correct or clarify material when appropriate. Dated research reflects information available at the stated time; later events do not automatically change an older article. A refresh of a dashboard does not mean every linked publication was reviewed.
Financial and simulated results
Content is general education and information, not personal investment advice or an instruction to trade. We do not assess your circumstances. Investing can cause loss. Educational fund portfolios and their results are simulations, not client assets or a live investment fund; historical and simulated returns do not guarantee future results.
Advertising and commercial material
Advertising must be distinguishable from editorial content. Ad placement does not constitute our endorsement. Service offers and paid products are identified as commercial material. A paid placement, sponsorship or relevant commercial relationship should be disclosed with the affected content. Readers are never asked to click advertisements to support the site.
