How Compass works

What you get on every indicator page

Compass is built for people who need to check a figure, cite it, and move on — not for people who want to spend twenty minutes learning an interface.

01

The full series

Every year we hold, not just the headline figure. Chart and table views, with year-on-year change and an index against the base year.

02

Regional context

Where the country sits against its regional peers, ranked and charted, so a single number becomes a comparison.

03

Sources and method

What the indicator measures, what it excludes, where the underlying figures come from and when the series was last refreshed.

04

Download and cite

Excel and CSV downloads, plus one-click citations in APA, MLA, Chicago, Harvard and BibTeX.
