Global Industry Lab
A cross-country industrial-structure & trade workbench. Pre-built CSV snapshots from World Bank, UNIDO-redistributed sector aggregates, and OECD STAN load automatically.
Overview
Auto-loaded snapshots
Pre-built CSV bundles load on first app open. No API keys, no manual sync — just open the page and read.
Rule-based verdicts
Every chart comes with a plain-language verdict (Service-led / Industrializing / Frontier) anchored to standard development thresholds.
World Bank · UNIDO · OECD
WB WDI, UNIDO-redistributed sector aggregates, and OECD STAN harmonized into per-country combined CSVs.
What's included
What you can do
When you open the app you land on the Overview — a rundown of the bundled data sources (World Bank, UNIDO, OECD STAN, UN Comtrade) plus cards for every page.
How it works
All data is pre-built and bundled — no live API calls, no upload, no parameters to enter. Just open a page and read; there's no set-up sequence to follow.
The same controls on every page
Data Hub — preview & download
The Data Hub lists every bundled CSV with its type, row count, size, and source (World Bank, UNIDO, OECD STAN). Preview rows in a side modal, or download files individually or in bulk. It looks roughly like this:
Reading a page
Open any country and you get a one-screen profile — a verdict band on top, a few dimension cards, then tabs and a findings list. The figures and verdict differ per country; the layout reads like this:
Charts & tables
Keep scrolling and you reach the KPI tiles, then the charts and tables for that view. Each page — and each country — shows different ones; here's one example:
The in-app Guide
The ⓘ Guide in the top-right of every tab opens a panel explaining that screen's tiles, thresholds, and verdicts. Each page has its own — for example:
