🌐 Public Data Sources (Auto-Ingested 24/7)

The L.I.F.E engine continuously ingests publicly available, authoritative data sources to benchmark your performance against national standards. These sources feed the Brain Library via the UKCI standby loop — running 24/7 in the background. Patient and education statistics are cross-referenced across multiple sources to account for potential over-inflation or under-deflation.
