What the data says, and what it doesn't yet.

Open-data analysis: a question, a finding with its source and what could not be measured. I worked on indicator tracking and foresight studies in the public sector, and I'm motivated to use evidence to decide better and create public value.

Wildfires in Peru: what the satellite could measure

1,690 ha burned in an area with no hotspots recorded between 2012 and 2025

Question

How much burned in Peru's largest fires in October 2026?

Finding

In Chichas (Arequipa), 1,690 ha burned, 4.3% of the district, in an area with no heat hotspot recorded between 2012 and 2025, which rules out recurring managed burning. Only 4 of the 20 largest fires could be measured; clouds covered the rest.

Does Claude make up figures? Memory, web and the BCRP's MCP

10/10 correct answers with the BCRP MCP server (web: 9, memory: 0)

Question

Does Claude answer official BCRP data correctly depending on where it gets the information?

Finding

With 10 questions and Claude Haiku, the MCP server got 10 right, the web 9 and memory 0 (it said “I don’t know”). When memory was denied the “I don’t know” option, 7 of 10 answers came out wrong: 3 were real estimates and 4 a zero used as a placeholder.
