Methodology

How we source and verify.

Every dataset traces to a primary source: central banks, IMF, World Bank KNOMAD, national statistical offices, or filings from regulated financial institutions. Where we estimate, we publish the method and assumptions.

Nova's own survey data is collected from verified diaspora respondents with corridor and residence-country quotas. Survey instruments, sample sizes, and confidence intervals are disclosed on every chart.
