Is Douwe worth running as a client service?

The evidence supports a low-complexity, open-source, self-hostable managed visualization service built on WorldSizer's resize-by-metric map and top-10 country lists, delivered with Douwe branding intact. What remains unknown is every economic input: there are no published pricing tiers, no API or client-management features, and no market rate evidence, so all cost and ROI figures must be supplied by the agency.

An agency-fit judgement for reselling this service. It is separate from the tool description on the decision record.

Before you start

What has to be in place before the first client engagement.

Tools and subscriptions

  • Self-hosted WorldSizer instance from its open-source GitHub repository, since the project is open-source and self-hostable
  • Access to World Bank indicator data, which powers the resized world map visualization
  • Selected data indicator (population, GDP, CO2 emissions, or another metric) as the required input for each map run
  • A delivery environment that keeps Douwe branding visible, since white-label and reseller signals are absent
  • No API, webhook, or SDK is available, so any workflow hand-off must be manual

People and inputs

  • Staff familiarity with the Mollweide projection map output and how the resize-by-metric interaction behaves
  • A documented process for capturing top-10 largest and smallest country lists per client metric
  • Low-complexity onboarding, as published setup_complexity is low
  • Time-to-value is published as hours, so schedule the first client delivery within the same engagement window
