Data provenance
Every figure is sourced. Nothing is estimated.
Direct source feeds
Values are pulled at request time from the issuing bodies — ONS, Home Office, HM Land Registry, Police.uk and Open-Meteo — and never modelled, interpolated or rounded by this service.
Age is always stated
Each card carries an explicit "as of" date and the publisher's next scheduled release. Where a body publishes only spreadsheets, the card shows no number at all — it tracks the publication instead.
