Methodology

  • All figures are computed directly from the simulator's production database at render time and cached for up to one hour. Nothing is estimated or hand-entered.
  • Data is aggregate and anonymous — no individual user's activity is exposed or identifiable.
  • “Money not spent” is the sum of cart totals across all fake store and food-delivery orders. Prices are the realistic USD prices shown in the simulator; no real transactions occur anywhere on this site.
  • The category breakdown covers line items from the most recent 142 store orders.
