How we know

The receipts.

Every number is sourced and tiered. We grade our own confidence so you don't have to take our word for it.

How much is hard-sourced

37% Tier 1–2

37% of this breakdown rests on hard data — GST schedule, live mandi prices, trade + filings. The rest is a category-typical estimate from an unreviewed draft template — treat it as directional, not gospel.

TIER 12

Hard government data

GST notifications, import data, tariffs

TIER 21

Verified industry

Company filings, audited reports

TIER 31

Modelled estimate

Industry benchmarks + ratios

TIER 40

Honest guess
