A 3% growth rate can be strong in one country and weak in another. Each country runs at a different historical normal, so numbers are not directly comparable across borders.
A weak report in one country might be noise. The same weakness appearing across economies is a macro signal.
Large institutions build them with in-house macro teams. Replicating that work requires both global macro investing experience and the data engineering to operationalize it.
We turn raw macroeconomic data into comparable cross-country signals,
serving professional investors in global capital allocation.

Chosen indicators are then standardized, so a +1.5 in Brazil is the same distance from normal as a +1.5 in Korea.
From there, you can see which countries stand out, and how broadly a move is shared across them.
Data organised in 5 macro modules containing 30+ indicators covering up to 41* economies, including global aggregates. Several decades recorded.
The MN Terminal is a local desktop application that loads all data files into one interface and rescans them the moment updates arrive. It navigates across all files and gives you full controls: overlay plots of different signals, across countries and across indicators, and measure how they move together.
