About Macro Circuit: Editorial Methodology & Primary Data Standards

Macro Circuit (macrocircuitfactory.com) is an independent American macroeconomic research publication, interactive data terminal, and documentary financial journalism desk serving institutional analysts, corporate decision-makers, and financially engaged US households.

Our mission is straightforward: strip away consensus Wall Street narrative spin and reconstruct economic reality directly from unedited federal ledgers, statutory regulatory filings, and county-level household cash-flow datasets.

1. Primary-Source Verification Hierarchy

Every long-form forensic dossier, 50-state stress indicator, and 60-second rapid briefing published by Macro Circuit adheres to a strict three-tier evidentiary hierarchy:

Tier-1 Federal & Statutory Releases: Primary quantitative claims must trace directly to official public-domain statistical releases including Federal Reserve Economic Data (FRED / H.4.1 / H.8 / H.15 / Z.1), the Bureau of Labor Statistics (CPI-U, PPI, CES, QCEW), the Bureau of Economic Analysis (NIPA / PCE), the U.S. Department of the Treasury Fiscal Service (Daily Treasury Statement, Monthly Treasury Statement, Debt to the Penny, Federal Insurance Office), the U.S. Census Bureau (American Community Survey), FFIEC/FDIC Call Reports, and U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC EDGAR) filings.

Tier-2 State Regulatory & Actuarial Filings: When national averages obscure regional dispersion—such as homeowners hazard insurance renewals or ad valorem property tax reassessments—our desk cross-references NAIC SERFF state Department of Insurance rate-filing dockets and county tax digest rollups across all fifty US states.

Tier-3 Reproducible Open Data Packs: Every flagship investigation on macrocircuitfactory.com includes a downloadable CSV Primary Data Pack listing exact series identifiers, agency attributions, observation dates, and methodological transformations so independent researchers can audit our work line by line.

2. How Our Interactive 50-State Calculators Work

Our Purchasing Power & Household Inflation Autopsy Lab and Interactive US Economic Stress Heatmap combine BLS regional price series with Census ACS gross rent-to-income ratios, NAIC/Treasury FIO homeowners insurance renewal indices, and county property-tax escrow trajectories. Rather than claiming a single headline index fits every family, our calculators weight price movements according to actual user-entered shelter, escrow, and core necessity shares.

3. Editorial Independence, Corrections & Broadcast Channels

Macro Circuit maintains strict separation between editorial research and any display advertising or charting/research partner placements. Advertisers and partners never review, approve, or influence macroeconomic conclusions, state stress rankings, or primary data selections. Material factual or statistical errors identified in any published dossier are corrected promptly with a timestamped editorial note at the top of the report.
