Macro Data Observatory
Open-source data infrastructure for acquiring, validating, structuring, and maintaining macroeconomic data from authoritative public sources through engineered, reproducible pipelines.
StatusUnder active development.
Software
Software grows from one shared foundation.
We build our software ecosystem around one shared macroeconomic-data foundation, with Macro Data Observatory (MDO) as its flagship and foundational platform, rather than parallel systems that recreate the same underlying work.
Organization and platform
Macro Evidence provides the direction. MDO carries the technical and product depth.
Mission, stewardship, governance, and organization-wide standards belong with Macro Evidence. Data models, pipelines, provider integrations, catalogue work, APIs, and product interaction belong with Macro Data Observatory.
A deliberate boundary
Shared infrastructure should compound rather than fragment.
Future Macro Evidence interfaces and products are intended to expose, extend, or operate on the shared foundation instead of rebuilding equivalent infrastructure in parallel. That keeps product growth compatible with one maintainable core.
Organization
Macro Evidence owns institutional direction, public governance, standards, stewardship, and the broader software portfolio.
Platform
MDO owns the technical and product depth of the shared macroeconomic-data foundation.
Future growth
New interfaces and products should build on that foundation rather than recreate it.
Beyond the code
The public core needs institutional infrastructure too.
We maintain public governance, documentation standards, contribution rules, security reporting, and identity boundaries around the software so the surrounding system can evolve deliberately as the code does.
