How Mundyo works
In short
For 243 countries, Mundyo gives business ideas with what they cost to start and what they can earn per month after a year, in the local currency. These amounts are estimates calculated from public data, not promises. This page explains how we get them, what we check, and how to report a mistake.
Where the numbers come from
Country figures come from the World Bank (World Development Indicators, CC BY 4.0 licence): price level, GDP per capita in purchasing power parity, growth, inflation, and the share of internet users, city dwellers and adults with an account. Exchange rates come from ExchangeRate-API. Everything is collected automatically every Monday; pages show the date of the data.
This week's Google searches (Google Trends) are only used to spot a current need: they are mostly news topics, and we never present them as market research.
How the amounts are calculated
Each idea has reference figures for a high-income eurozone country: monthly revenue and costs at month 12 (net income is the difference), starting budget and hours of work per week. An automatic check makes sure revenue minus costs equals net income.
For a given country, the starting budget follows the price level (what you buy to get going costs less where prices are low). Income follows both prices and customers' purchasing power. Amounts are then converted into the local currency and rounded: they are orders of magnitude.
“Starting money back in N months” compares the starting budget with net income, allowing for weaker first months. An idea is only suggested in a country if it suits its income level.
How the ideas are written
The catalogue holds 136 ideas. Each one is drafted with the help of artificial intelligence, then chosen and approved by the publisher before it goes into the catalogue. Automatic checks cover the four languages, the figures and duplicates; regulated trades carry a warning.
“Start your business” guides
The 12 country guides rely only on official sources (government agencies, chambers of commerce, tax offices), dated and listed at the bottom of each guide. A weekly review checks the links and looks for rule changes. No private professional is recommended: only official directories.
Blog articles
Articles are written by artificial intelligence from Mundyo's own figures, twice a week, and signed “the Mundyo team”.
Before publication, an automatic check rejects the article if an amount does not come from Mundyo's data, if a link leads nowhere, if a source is not official, or if the text contains empty filler phrases. Articles never invent a testimonial, a person or a quote, and never promise income. Their amounts update every week with the new data.
What Mundyo does not do
Mundyo does not give financial, legal or tax advice, does not cover politics or the stock market, and does not sell your data. Before you start, check prices, demand and the rules where you live.
Report a mistake
Does a figure look wrong, a link no longer work, a rule change? Write to contact@mundyo.com or use “Your feedback” in the app menu. We fix it and the page is updated.
