Data Methodology & Editorial Standards

How AfriConvert turns platform data into reproducible FX, remittance-provider, corridor and crypto market analysis.

Data provenance

Insights use AfriConvert platform observations from the data sources identified in each analysis. Provider payout comparisons use eligible provider quotes; FX analysis uses covered rate history; crypto analysis uses supported digital-asset market data. Missing observations are not invented or replaced with unsupported values.

Comparable provider analysis

Who's Leading? compares the same source currency and send amount. Only fresh, finite, positive and temporally comparable provider quotes are eligible. The newest eligible quote for each provider is used. AfriConvert does not extrapolate a payout from one send amount to another.

Publication controls

Automated analysis must pass freshness, history-coverage, consistency and materiality checks before publication. Insufficient or contradictory data fails closed. Automated analysis describes observed data; it does not invent causes, predict markets, or recommend investments.

Periods, timestamps and corrections

Observation windows are stated explicitly. Provider snapshots use absolute UTC timestamps so historical articles do not appear current later. If a material data or calculation error is identified, AfriConvert may correct or withdraw the analysis rather than preserve a misleading result.

Editorial and commercial independence

Commercial or affiliate relationships do not change the measurement rules used for provider comparisons. Sponsored material, if published, must be identified separately from AfriConvert data analysis.
