Timeframe and data granularity.

Timeframe and granularity filters are now independent, allowing more flexible data analysis. You can now combine different timeframes with various granularities (month, day, hour) in the following supported combinations:

  • All time – months, days
  • 1 year – months, days
  • 3 months – months, days
  • 1 month – days, hours
  • 1 week – days, hours

Country metrics added.

We’ve introduced basic socio-economic data for countries, now available in the Market Overview section. These metrics provide additional insights when evaluating new markets.

Note: These are name changes only; calculation methods remain the same for now but may be adjusted in future updates.

Local and international brands.

We've enhanced Blask’s licensing data for regulated markets:

  • Brands are now categorized as Local if they hold a license for all supported verticals in a specific country.
  • Brands are marked as Mixed if they hold a license for only some verticals but not all.

Additionally:

  • Blask Index and CEB metrics can now be filtered to show results for local and international brands separately.
  • Local/International filter has been added to the companies table in country-specific reports.

Games (beta release).
