How sources are used

Interpretation, not invention

Fuel Intelligence AU does not treat any one source as the full picture. Signals are compared across source types so the platform can look for movement, pressure, timing, and possible downstream consequence.

Source data may update at different speeds. Some datasets are live or near-live, while others are delayed, monthly, reported manually, or used for historical context.

Verification

Check important information at the source

This site is designed to make system pressure easier to see. It is not an official source. Where accuracy is critical, users should verify information directly with the relevant primary source, regulator, agency, market provider, or official body.
