I feel like there's SO MANY discussions here about how it's difficult to find solutions in the development world because we don't understand each unique factor in each village XYZ….so I figured I would create my own tool with AI that creates indexes that show a bunch of different indexes. Not trying to sell anything, but made this out of my love for data/economics.
You essentially click on any village in the map (see website www.humadex.ai) and you'll get the following indexes and more on any village in the world.
-inflation rate
-income per day
-% of people banked
-road quality
-phone access
-computer access
-internet access
-safety levels
– Language indexes (% indigenous, English level, etc.)
– Tourism level, Tourist infra, etc.
– types of economy
– avg costs per good (eggs, milk etc.)
I chose Coban, a small city in rural Guatemala, to understand it's demographics and it was spot on (I lived here a few years ago).

This is a cool concept and the UI looks clean, but I’d be really curious about methodology. At village level granularity, a lot of those metrics simply don’t exist in structured datasets, especially things like inflation rate or % banked.
Are you generating synthetic estimates based on regional proxies, or actually stitching together multiple open sources? The confidence interval question is what makes or breaks something like this.
If you added a transparency layer that showed data sources or a reliability score per index, that would make it way more defensible. Right now it’s impressive visually, but for this sub people are going to ask how grounded the numbers really are.
