Data Collection

Intratec collects data from a combination of public and proprietary sources, including government statistical agencies, industry associations, and direct market surveys.

Primary Sources

• Government agencies — national statistics offices, energy regulators, and labor ministries across covered economies.
• Industry associations — sector-specific bodies that publish production, trade, and pricing data.
• Market surveys — periodic direct surveys of producers and buyers in key industries.

Frequency

Data is collected on a monthly, quarterly, or annual basis depending on the dataset. Release schedules are published in the Release Schedule.

Quality Control

Each data point goes through a three-stage review: automated range checks, cross-source consistency validation, and analyst sign-off before publication.
