How current it is

Verified to September 9, 2026Every record here is rechecked on its own clock. The oldest reading in this brief was taken September 9, 2026; the dial shows how far through its interval the record closest to expiring has run.

What we have not done

This is a first pass, not a complete map of the market. Absence of a record here is not evidence that nothing applies. Nothing in this brief carries a named expert's judgement yet, so every reading is a document or a measurement, never somebody's experience of selling here.

Not fatal. Enough to make a launch feel harder than it should.

Somalia: no .99 price point exists

Unicode Consortium

Prices in Somalia are quoted in whole SOS: the currency carries no decimal places in circulation, so a 9.99 price point does not exist and the psychological break has to move up to a whole unit.

A price architecture built on two decimal places does not survive the move to a currency without them.

Somalia: 2 official languages on one pack

Unicode Consortium

Somalia has 2 nationally official languages: Somali at 78%, Arabic at 34%. A single-language pack leaves part of the market unaddressed.

Which language leads on the pack decides how much of the market can read what it is buying.

We derive from public sources and we do not independently audit them. Where a source says its own records are unverified, that carries through to us. What we do promise is that every figure is recomputed from stored rows, every claim publishes the observation that would overturn it, and every correction goes on the public log. If something here is wrong, tell us and it changes in the open.
