The Gap

For Developers

Building a salary tool? Relocation calculator? Cost-of-living dashboard? You need official wage and cost data, but fetching it from BLS, EIA, USDA means:

  • · Writing custom API integrations for each source
  • · Handling inconsistent formats and series IDs
  • · Building and maintaining normalization logic
  • · Managing historical time-series yourself

For Businesses

Building a financial model for market entry, pay equity analysis, or workforce planning? You need cost-of-living and wage benchmarks, but:

  • · Enterprise tools cost thousands per year
  • · Government data is free but scattered and clunky
  • · Manual spreadsheet work every modeling cycle
  • · No single source of truth or audit trail
