Data & provenance
Different surfaces use different data sources — and each surface tells you which.
Live public indicatorslink
Country profiles and Market Compare pull live indicators from official public sources (development-bank, monetary-fund, and statistical datasets) at view time. These pages carry their source attributions.
AI-synthesized intelligencelink
The Global Franchise Rankings are AI-synthesized country scores — indicative guidance for exploration, refreshed periodically, and labeled as such on the page. For decisions, use the live-indicator surfaces above.
Marketplace datalink
Listings, reviews, trust signals, and resale units come from franchisors, operators, and sellers on the marketplace, moderated by the platform. Illustrative seed content, where present, is marked as illustrative and carries no fabricated engagement numbers.
