Data & Trust

Know what is live, loaded and still staged

Yugalinks separates data served in current workflows from warehouse enrichment and staged collections. A dataset being acquired or loaded does not mean it is available in every chart, score or AI answer.

Registry / 01

Availability is stated by integration stage

Live workflows use the source today. Warehouse enrichment is loaded but not universally served. Selected means only named fields or lookups are in use. Staged data still requires mapping, validation and product integration.

OECD BIMTS

Live workflows

Current foundation for country, product, corridor, opportunity and risk workflows. HS2017 merchandise trade coverage extends from 1995 to 2024 where observations are available.

CEPII research datasets

Warehouse enrichment

BACI, Gravity, GeoDist, tariffs, non-tariff measures, FDI, RCA, prices, elasticities and market-potential tables are loaded in the analytical warehouse. Only fields explicitly shown in a workflow should be treated as product inputs.

World Bank · DGFT India

Selected in product

Selected macro context and HS-description references are used in specific interfaces. This does not mean the wider World Bank or DGFT collections are fully integrated.

Eurostat COMEXT · UNCTAD

Staged

EU trade detail, tariffs, transport, classifications, country profiles and selected UNCTAD material have been downloaded or parsed. Production integration is still staged.

IMF · Penn World Table · World Bank indicators

Staged / selected

Catalog data, selected development and logistics indicators, IMF macro extracts, and versioned national-accounts data are available for further harmonisation and integration.

WTO · USITC · DGFT

Staged / reference

Tariff resources, US trade and HTS material, Indian trade data, HS8 extracts and regulatory documents are held in structured, raw or retrieval-ready forms.

Our World in Data · Bharat datasets

Staged

Curated global indicators and India-specific MSME, company, district-product and administrative context are available but are not general live platform sources.

Integration roadmap / 02

More data is useful only after it becomes comparable

Additional releases from these institutions may be acquired over time. Inclusion depends on licensing, coverage, update reliability, harmonisation quality and a clear product use.

UN system

Direct UN Comtrade releases, UNSD concordances, expanded UNCTAD indicators and other relevant UN statistical series.

Macroeconomics

Broader IMF and World Bank series for growth, inflation, exchange rates, fiscal conditions, logistics and development context.

Market access

Expanded WTO, tariff, preference, non-tariff measure, trade-remedy and national customs or trade-agency datasets.

Specialised context

Services, FDI, transport, ports, climate, commodities, labour and production data where licensing and methodology permit.

Official references

Publisher data portals

These links provide provenance and direct access to official publisher portals. A listed publisher does not imply that every dataset on its portal is licensed, integrated or available in Yugalinks.

Evidence supply chain

Publication is the start, not the finished answer

Transformation improves comparability. It cannot resolve every revision, reporting delay, re-export treatment or bilateral discrepancy.

  1. 01

    Publish

    An institution releases reported trade records, classifications or contextual indicators.

  2. 02

    Align

    Country identifiers, HS codes, periods, currencies and flow labels are mapped into a usable structure.

  3. 03

    Validate

    Coverage checks and missing-value states are retained; harmonisation does not erase source limitations.

  4. 04

    Serve

    A chart, metric or AI explanation should carry its source, period, filters and relevant caveat.

Trust documentation

Inspect the boundary behind the result

Source provenance is one part of trust. Coverage, calculation rules, AI limitations and security practices document how evidence can be used.
