Move beyond synthetic data with auditable public evidence
A compact public-data monitor using official World Bank indicators to demonstrate source provenance, metric definition, comparison, and decision-oriented communication.

Why this project exists
The portfolio should not rely exclusively on synthetic datasets. This case introduces applied public-data evidence using World Bank indicators so the workflow can be tested against real-world reporting, provenance, update cycles, and measurement definitions.
The World Bank currently reports Nigeria's 2025 consumer-price inflation at 23.0%, population at 237,527,782, electricity access at 62.5% in 2024, and individuals using the internet at 41% in 2024.
Analytical frame
- Define the indicator and unit.
- Record source and latest available year.
- Separate stock variables from rates and percentages.
- Compare indicators only when definitions and periods are explicit.
- Document update date and limitations.
