Databook

Databook is a curated, source-backed reference covering the world's countries, where every figure carries its source and publication year (traceable to authoritative publishers like the UN, World Bank, V-Dem, and IPU Parline) and, where authorities disagree, all values are shown side by side.

It's the readable, country-by-country front-end of DataInt, a data-as-a-service platform (itself a project of the AI/emerging-tech company Episteme, founded 2025 by the long-running consultancy Subicon Network) that harmonizes thousands of datasets from official publishers. Its defining stance is non-interpretive and open: it never ranks, scores, or authors data, presents conflicting sources together, and rebuilds every page reproducibly from openly-licensed (mostly CC-BY) datasets listed in full on its Sources page.
