TACITUS consulting maps
Prepared 11 November 2026

Open TACITUS-consulting-maps.qgz in QGIS 3.40 or later. Keep the project and consulting-geodata.gpkg in the same folder. No external map service or account is required. The project contains two editable native print layouts and data layers; their styling is intentionally simpler than the polished web artwork.

The three CSV files contain every quantitative observation used. Read source-methodology.md for metric definitions, dates, source URLs, rounding, scope limits and rights. map-data.html is an accessible HTML presentation of the data.

To reproduce the polished web SVG/PNG artwork on a machine with QGIS Python bindings and QtSvg installed:
  QT_QPA_PLATFORM=offscreen /usr/bin/python3 render_web_maps.py

This writes into a new rendered/ folder. It uses the bundled GeoPackage and CSVs and makes no network requests. Tested with QGIS 3.40.6. The script is tied to this dated dataset and is not an automated data-update tool.

The plain TACITUS text is attribution, not a redesigned graphic logo.

The semiconductor map is original artwork using a small set of attributed factual figures from the copyrighted BCG/SIA report; no open reproduction licence for that report is asserted.
