Official truth first
Schedules, actual values, revisions, release documents, and timestamps originate directly from primary publishing institutions.
Methodology / source policy
Trust begins with knowing where the data came from.
MacroFeed preserves official timing evidence and observation provenance, derives change transparently, and labels the precision of every historical release.
Four operating principles
The methodology is designed for agents that need to reason about evidence quality, not merely display a populated calendar row.
Change stays neutral
Higher and lower describe direction only; interpretation depends on the indicator and user context.
Timing precision stays explicit
Exact-time, date-only, and unknown states preserve what the official evidence can—and cannot—prove.
Verification is part of the interface
Coverage, field density, date ranges, source freshness, and gaps are designed to be inspected programmatically.
From institution to agent
Institutional data pipelines normalize varied publisher formats, allowing MacroFeed to expose focused read-only tools through CTX Protocol.

How fields are treated
Similar-looking numbers can represent very different kinds of evidence. MacroFeed keeps the distinction in the data model.
