License the data
Livability scores for 12,126 cities across 29 metrics, built exclusively on institutional sources — World Bank, WHO, OECD, UNESCO, UNODC, Eurostat, Ookla, OpenAQ, GDELT. Not crowdsourced, not scraped from forums. The dataset behind wellplaced.live, delivered in the format your product or newsroom needs.
Why teams license this dataset instead of the alternatives:
every score traces to a named institutional source; data quality is graded A–E per city;
scores are regenerated monthly with public snapshots (a real time series, not a rolling average);
a daily-updated conflict/safety layer no competitor offers; and quality is enforced in CI —
96 consensus-ordering checks and a golden-master regression gate run on every data change,
with a public corrections log when we find and fix our own errors.
If your legal or standards desk asks "where does this number come from?", this is the dataset
with an answer.

Questions
What formats and delivery?
JSON or CSV, delivered by download link on each monthly refresh (webhook/API delivery available on commercial plans). The full file is ~22 MB.
Can we influence how cities are scored?
No. Licensing buys the data, never the methodology. No one can pay to change a score, a ranking, or a metric — that neutrality is the reason the data is worth licensing.
How fresh is it?
Deep re-scores run monthly with public snapshots; the conflict/safety layer refreshes daily; FX-driven cost inputs update continuously.
What does attribution look like for the free media license?
"Source: WellPlaced (wellplaced.live)" — text with a link where the medium supports it. That's the whole price.
