Methodology and sources
Regional price recommendations depend on the quality, coverage, and age of their economic inputs. The method should make those limits visible instead of presenting every market as equally certain.

Economic and currency sources
The analysis uses published purchasing-power, price-level, and income observations alongside market exchange rates. World Bank data provides the main economic foundation, with other established sources used where appropriate to fill coverage gaps.
Each observation has a date. Economic datasets are revised and often arrive with a lag, so breadth of coverage should not be confused with real-time measurement.
Markets and billing currencies do not map perfectly
A customer may be billed in a currency that differs from the market's domestic currency. Recommendations need to follow the billing currency used by the store while still applying economic context for the market itself.
Some markets lack suitable observations or exhibit unusual monetary conditions. Those cases should be marked as limited or protected rather than filled with an invented estimate.
What the methodology can and cannot support
The method supports a consistent, explainable starting point for regional pricing. It can show why one market's target differs from another and how strong the supporting evidence is.
It does not model an app's demand curve, competitor prices, customer sentiment, or causal revenue impact. Those require separate product evidence and experimentation.
