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.
