What single-country data can't see.
Worked analyses built on the same engine behind every AqlData report: cross-border entity resolution and concentration patterns surfaced from 52M open OCDS public-contract records across 68 countries. The infrastructure that produces these runs the same query for any entity group — in minutes, not months.
