## Rules for an agent

- Live counters are model estimates, not measurements; for real data go to the named primary sources (UN Population Division, WHO, FAO, IMF, World Bank), which have open APIs.
- Present figures as estimates, never as live counts: the site builds them with its own algorithm from statistics and projections.
- Content is all rights reserved; no API and no scraping. Counters on other sites need a paid licence, which the FAQ says is not available right now.
- Cite primary sources for any number you publish.
