Atlas is Aurato’s public, source-linked map of payment methods, markets, schemes, systems, operators, PSPs, standards, regulations and identifiers. Every page is a view of the same canonical Graph record.

Records are updated when Aurato maps a new source, observes a changed fact or improves a relationship. The observation date, effective date and change history stay separate so you can see what changed and when.

Metrics are linked to public evidence wherever possible. The four headline numbers and every table that repeats them use the same canonical metric record, period and source.

An entity is one canonical record for a payment method, market, PSP, currency, scheme, system, operator, regulator, compliance requirement, standard, bank, identifier or card product. The Taxonomy page explains the boundary of every entity type.

Aurato keeps the customer-facing method, governing scheme, technical system and operating organization separate. Their relationships explain the complete payment flow without collapsing distinct roles into one label.

A dash means Aurato does not currently have a sufficiently supported value for that field and scope. It is an explicit data gap, not a zero and not an inferred value.

Use the Contact page and include the record name, the field you believe is incorrect and a primary source. Aurato can then review the evidence without overwriting the historical record.

Overview pages help you search, filter, sort and compare one entity type. A record page focuses on one canonical entity and brings together its attributes, metrics, relationships, sources and related records.

The search control in the header searches across the canonical records available in Atlas. Select a result to open its record page; use the search field on an overview page when you only want to search within that catalog.

Yes. Catalog search, filters and sort controls work together, so you can narrow a dataset and then rank the remaining records without losing the active selection.

Tables begin with a compact set of records. Show more reveals the next batch and Show all is offered for datasets within the supported size limit; access to the complete filtered table depends on your plan.

Favorites let you mark records you want to revisit. They are available from record pages and are collected for quicker access through your account experience.

When you open a record from an expanded overview and return, Aurato preserves the expanded batch and restores your position where possible.

Source-linked means a fact, metric or relationship retains a connection to the evidence used to support it. Sources remain separate records so one publication can support several claims without duplicating the evidence.

Aurato prioritizes official publications, regulatory data, scheme and operator reporting, company disclosures and other traceable public evidence. The Sources registry shows the evidence currently mapped into the Graph.

The observed date records when Aurato retrieved or reviewed the evidence. The effective date records when the rule, event or data point applies in the real world.

Aurato keeps scope, period, unit and provenance attached to each observation. Conflicting claims can therefore remain distinguishable instead of being silently averaged or overwritten.

Aurato may publish a clearly scoped best-effort estimate when no single authoritative total exists. The definition, period, assumptions, source set and confidence should make the estimate distinguishable from a reported figure.

Basic covers public Atlas browsing and favorites. Premium adds full table access, identifier lookups, PSP information, personal API and MCP keys, Dashboard access and 500 tokens. Pro adds custom APIs, Workspace access and 1,000 tokens.

Yes. Use the switch in the account panel to compare monthly and yearly prices before choosing a plan. Basic remains free in both views.

Overview tables start with 10 records and record-page tables with 5. Basic can reveal up to 20 additional records, while Premium and Pro can reveal the complete filtered table without changing its filters or sort order.

Premium and Pro include BIN/BIC lookup access plus personal API and MCP keys. Basic keeps the public Atlas browsing experience without those account features.

One Graph token is recorded for each authenticated API data request or MCP tool call. MCP connection setup does not consume tokens. These are Aurato usage units, not AI model tokens.

Open the account panel, select Tokens, then Usage. The chart shows the past eight days and the totals show all-time API and MCP usage. The blue bar and Available show your remaining calendar-month allowance: Basic 0, Premium 100 and Pro 250 tokens, resetting on the first at 00:00 UTC. These balances are informational and do not block requests. Recent activity starts with three requests; Show more reveals three more.

The API exposes canonical entity records and relationships for search, analysis and integration. API responses and Atlas pages are projections of the same underlying Graph data.

Yes. Repeated values, such as market headline metrics, are rendered from the same canonical records used by the API instead of being copied into separate page-specific fields.

Open the account panel, select Tokens and choose API keys. Personal Graph credentials are an account feature for Premium and Pro plans.

MCP lets compatible AI tools discover and query Aurato Graph capabilities through a standard connection, so an agent can work with the same canonical entities and source-linked context available through Atlas.

Open the account panel, select Tokens and choose API keys. Personal Graph credentials are an account feature for Premium and Pro plans.

The Status page reports availability for Atlas, Hub, Graph API and Graph MCP and publishes recent service and data changes.

Hub is the workspace built on top of the Aurato Graph. Dashboard helps you monitor and compare the records that matter to you, while Workbench helps you download, enrich and visualize Graph datasets.

Dashboard brings together Favorites, Compare and Deepdive. Use it to revisit saved records, compare markets and payment infrastructure, or explore one payment method in greater depth.

Favorite a record from its Atlas page and it appears in the Favorites view in Dashboard. This keeps the payment methods, markets and other records you follow together in one place.

Compare supports markets, payment methods, schemes and systems. For payment methods, you can also select a market to compare the available market-specific measurements.

Deepdive is the focused Dashboard view for exploring one payment method across markets, adoption, volume, historical trends, relationships and supporting evidence.

Workbench provides tools to download curated datasets, enrich your own datasets with Aurato records and fields, and build charts from Graph data.

Dashboard is included with Premium and Pro. Workbench is available with Pro, including its download, enrichment and chart-building tools.
