Methodology & Mathematical Formulas for Derived Metrics

To guarantee empirical reproducibility and rigorous editorial attribution, all published index metrics follow explicit mathematical definitions:

1. Global Average Regional Price Gap (36%)

Formula: Mean( (US_Base_Price - Floor_Storefront_USD) / US_Base_Price ) across all tracked non-PAYG subscriptions

Denominator: Observed US list-price quote for the same tracked base plan and billing period
Sample: 36 base-plan subscriptions, 20 storefronts, 683 observations
FX baseline: USD conversions recorded in the source snapshot, last observed 2026-10-19; FX movement is included
Weighting: Unweighted arithmetic mean across all tracked base plans, including zero savings
2. Country Average Savings vs. US

Formula: Mean( (US_Base_Price - Country_Storefront_USD) / US_Base_Price ) for all products in country C

Sample: Storefronts with minimum sample threshold of 5 verified subscription products
Denominator: Observed US list-price quote for the matching base plan and billing period
Weighting: Unweighted arithmetic mean per storefront
3. Product Regional Price Spread

Formula: (Highest_Storefront_USD - Floor_Storefront_USD) / Highest_Storefront_USD * 100%

Denominator: Highest observed regional list price converted to USD
Sample: Available storefronts for each base plan; up to 20 regions (coverage varies by product)
