Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Who did this?

FedViewer.com has been created by Real World Analytics, a non-partisan, independent software developer. We specialize in data-centric web-applications development. Client inquiries should be directed to contact@fedviewer.com.

Q: What about the Details?

The objective of the data grid is to provide a 10,000ft overview of the U.S. Economy. Limited scope in this case is being presented as a feature. Certain details are not attended to, such as defining the unit values in Absolute mode, dereferencing NAICS numbers (industry classification codes), providing weekly or daily periods. Scope-limiting also biases us against replicating functions provided elsewhere, such as raw data downloading (this is best handled by www.federalreserve.gov, the authoritative source for FedViewer.com data).

Q: How reliable is the data?

FedViewer.com is currently under development. While every effort is made to ensure accuracy, gaurantees are not possible. Use any and all information here at your own risk. This is not an investment advisory service. All data here can be cross checked with the source at http://www.federalreserve.gov.

Q: What is being done, or has yet to be done?

Many, many things. The emphasis for now is simply launching the site, with minimal impedance. After every stable iteration, new features will be added on an ongoing (and interactive/crowd-sourced) basis. Please submit your suggestions for improvement or new features!
