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

39% Tier 1–2

39% 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 22

Verified industry

Company filings, audited reports

TIER 31

Modelled estimate

Industry benchmarks + ratios

TIER 40

Honest guess

Best informed estimate; flagged as such
