For journalists

How journalists can use Warconomy: a source-linked economic-impact reference where every figure traces to the publisher that produced it, with ready-made citations and dated review status. Cite the original source, not the aggregator. Static, partial coverage, not real-time; figures are benchmarks, not causal claims.

static reference · data June 5, 2026

Every Warconomy figure traces to the publisher that produced it, with a ready-made citation, an as-of date, and a review status. Cite the original source, not the aggregator; note the date; mirror Warconomy's cautious, non-causal language; and never cite the clearly-labeled sample rows. Coverage is partial and not real-time.

  • Trace and cite the original source.
  • Ready-made citations with dates and versions.
  • Benchmarks, not causal claims; never cite samples.

Cite the original source

Every figure links to the publisher (e.g. an official agency). Attribute the original; Warconomy is the aggregator and context. Source registry.

Use ready-made citations

The citation catalog gives copy-ready attributions, including dataset versions and as-of dates. Citation catalog.

Check the date and status

Each value carries an as-of date and a review status. Note when a figure was last reviewed before publishing. Data review.

Avoid causal overclaims

Prices and indicators are benchmarks tracked alongside events, not proof that one caused the other. Mirror that caution in copy. Methodology.

Never cite sample rows

Sample rows are clearly labeled placeholders and must not appear as factual figures. Data coverage.
