Three international sources that agents are frequently asked to read to two decimal places.

## Our World in Data

- Every chart on [ourworldindata.org](https://ourworldindata.org) has a downloadable CSV; append `.csv` to a grapher URL, for example `https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/share-of-population-in-extreme-poverty.csv`.
- Columns are `Entity`, `Code` (ISO3), `Year`, and the indicator. Filter by `Code` rather than by country name.
- OWID republishes other sources (World Bank PIP, IHME, WHO). Cite the upstream source named in the chart's metadata as well as OWID.

## OECD

- The OECD Data Explorer exposes SDMX endpoints; CSV is easiest: request the dataflow with `format=csvfilewithlabels`.
- Education spending shares and early-years indicators live in the Education at a Glance dataflows. Vintages lag one to two years.
- Values are often shares as percentages; check the `UNIT_MEASURE` column before rounding.

## IHME (Global Burden of Disease)

- The GBD Results tool at [vizhub.healthdata.org/gbd-results](https://vizhub.healthdata.org/gbd-results/) requires selecting cause, measure, metric, location, age, sex, and year, then exporting CSV. Direct URL export is not stable; record your selections.
- Distinguish `Number`, `Rate` (per 100,000), and `Percent` metrics. Most two-decimal questions want the rate.

## Rounding

When a task says "two decimal places", round half up from the full-precision value, not from a value already rounded in a dashboard. Record both the raw and rounded values on the task page.
