Remit-Scout offers (Alternative, Price, Reference) — Order of 10^5–10^6 quote-derived index points: every published point is computed per eligible provider quote per corridor per refresh, with provider weights — so volume scales as corridors × providers × observations. Exact corridor and provider counts are not printed; obtain from the methodology's coverage tables..

Remittance cost benchmarking for regulators, central banks and development-finance bodies (the SDG 10.c 'reduce remittance costs below 3%' track); pricing strategy for banks, MTOs and remittance fintechs; corridor-level consumer-protection and value-for-money analysis; volatility and FX-markup risk models built from the RVI dispersion series; backtesting of cost-reduction interventions against the historical TEER series.
