How this stays current

  1. A scheduled job pulls the latest from curated sources (news, official gazette, ECLAC and World Bank, trade data).
  2. An LLM extracts the updated figures and drafts the changes.
  3. A human reviews and approves, the safeguard on anything legal or financial.
  4. The approved values are written to a single data file; every figure here updates with a fresh date and source.
