Field notes
The project presents four components behind one interface: a satellite-backed map, a sortable global data table, adjustable scenario levers, and a model that decomposes headline results into contributing terms. Its stated coverage includes 238 countries and territories, 169 readings, and 54,000 clickable subnational places. The homepage also links to method, limits, sources, glossary, developer, accessibility, and change-log sections, suggesting an effort to document the instrument rather than present only a visual demo.
