A guided tour and a glossary on one page. The tour: start on the dashboard (the gauge with its seasonally adjusted pace, what CPI will print, the official number and the gap), understand the number on Why the Gap? and The Gauge, Exposed, check the pre-registered forecast and the public scoreboard before each print, go deep on the macro trackers (the macro dashboard, GDP nowcast, recession risk, jobs, housing, consumer stress, money and liquidity, fiscal and tariffs), then make it yours with My Inflation, the cart, the since-date calculator and the fall calculators, compare any two of 1,648 series in the directory, and embed any chart.
The glossary defines every name the site uses in plain English: the Nowflation Gauge and its CPI-comparable and Cost-of-Living variants, the all-tenant rent index, coverage, pace, the base period (January 2018 = 100) and the gap; the Nowflation Forecast, the ensemble, pre-registration, vintage-true backtests, live grading, MAE and bias, the Street consensus, the Cleveland Fed nowcast and Kalshi; GDP nowcasts, the Weekly Economic Index, the Sahm rule, the 10y−3m curve, CFNAI and the regional Fed surveys; breakevens and the 5y5y forward, supercore, the underlying measures, financial conditions, net liquidity and import prices; JOLTS, jobless claims, real disposable income, the saving rate, the Consumer Stress Index and buy ÷ rent; and how the site stays honest — vintage-true history, open data, the system status gate and the embed widgets.
