What an economy buys tells you what it depends on.
Every country counts what it imports. Every public body publishes what it buys. Read side by side, the two records show what really matters to an economy: the goods it cannot do without, the ones it could make itself, and the work its own public money pays for. BuzzBaboon reads both, joins them and counts them, for the firms, ministers and agencies who can act on what they show.
Put the public record in perspective.
Show, product by product and contract by contract, what an economy imports at scale, what its public bodies spend on, what it already makes well, and which firms could close the gap. Every figure joined, counted, dated and traced to its source.
Every economy can see what it depends on.
A minister knows which imports the country is best placed to make, and which of its own public bodies are buying them from abroad. A ten-person firm knows what its council will buy next year as well as the incumbent does. Decisions about public money start from the record, not from the loudest voice.
The record is public. The perspective is not.
Headlines measure an economy in growth, inflation and debt. What it depends on sits in the line items.
Which medicines it buys packaged from abroad, which steel it imports for the structures it builds, which of its own councils keep buying the same thing year after year. The incumbent on a contract knows when it ends; everyone else finds out when the tender is published. The facts that would change both are already public: the award notice, the contract end date, the buyer. They sit across dozens of portals, five code schemes and two record systems that never meet, trade statistics on one side and procurement on the other. Reading them is a job nobody is paid to do, so the firms with bid teams win, and the firms without them never knew they could have bid.
A baboon troop posts a lookout.
One animal watches the horizon while the troop gets on with its day, and calls when something moves. That is the job: watch the whole record, every working day, and say what moved for you. The Baboon is the subject of every finding on this site because the finding is the Baboon's work, checked by a person before it reaches you.
Six rules the site keeps, in code.
Each one is checked every time the site is built. A page that breaks one does not ship.
- 01
The record, not a rumour
Every figure on BuzzBaboon traces to a public source, and every link is the publisher's own. If a number cannot be traced, it is not printed.
- 02
Facts apart from interpretation
What a notice says is quoted. What it might mean is marked as interpretation and kept separate, so the reader can disagree with us without doubting the record.
- 03
Free where it is public
What a government publishes stays free here: the search, the buyer pages, the import gaps, the trade lanes. We charge for the joining and the judgement, never for access to public information.
- 04
Companies, never people
Public bodies are named as buyers from their own notices. No person's name is collected, stored or printed, and no supplier is named on a public page.
- 05
Fresh or flagged
A tender past its deadline is never shown as open, and a development past its window is never marked Act now. Every page says when the record was read.
- 06
Say what we cannot do
Where a country does not publish its awards, or a portal offers no data, the page says so in as many words. A gap stated honestly is worth more than a total that looks complete.
Built by one founder, with AI, from the public record.
BuzzBaboon was founded by Maheshika Halbeisen, PhD, MBA, and is built and published by Eternal Raine Ltd (company number 16505815), a Shika Group property. It reads Contracts Finder, Find a Tender, the award records of 33 other countries and the world trade file, and it says on every page what it does not read yet.
