How we use sources
Every number on this site comes from one of these sources or from a clearly marked AVERON estimate.
- Official and institutional sources first; press reports where they quote an official figure.
- Where sources disagree, we say so and use the more conservative figure.
- AVERON estimates are simple and reproducible: today’s measured value grown with population and a stated rate.
- Internal documents are available to partners on request.
