About
Numbra publishes official Australian statistics, one page per series family, with every figure traceable to an archived copy of the release it came from.
The site’s data pages and their descriptions are produced and reviewed by an automated system built and operated by Jordan Baillie. Every figure is traceable to an archived copy of the official release it came from: each page links to the release and gives the retrieval date, and each series’ JSON download names the archive file and its SHA-256 hash. The site publishes no forecasts and no advice.
The sources are the Australian Bureau of Statistics, the Reserve Bank of Australia and, for the AUD/USD rate, the European Central Bank (the daily rate is calculated by Numbra from the ECB’s euro reference rates) and, for the history back to 1971, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System via FRED. See the Licence page for the terms each one is published under.
Notes, definitions and the digest
The release notes on event pages, the definition at the top of each data page and the Monday digest are written and reviewed by an automated pipeline operated by Jordan Baillie. A draft is written by one model from the exported figures alone, checked so that every number it contains appears in the data, then reviewed by a second, independent model against a fixed checklist. Anything that fails is discarded. The site publishes no forecasts and no advice. Every figure links to the archived copy of the official release it came from.
The subscribe form collects one thing, your email address, and uses it for two things: the number in your inbox within minutes of each release, and a Monday digest. The list is held by Buttondown; every email carries a one-click unsubscribe. Nothing else is collected and nothing is shared.
