Tax intelligence and fiscal data systems for developing economies
Maitras.ai is an independent research and advisory platform working on tax data analytics, AI-assisted revenue administration, and the measurement of economic activity that formal systems miss. Our work combines operational experience building fraud-detection systems for revenue authorities with published, replicable policy research.
All research papers published on Maitras.ai are freely accessible to the public. We do not charge for access, subscriptions, or downloads, and we do not generate revenue from these publications. They are provided to advance knowledge, encourage discussion, and support education and research.

Research grounded in deployed systems
Maitras.ai is built on operational experience, not only publication. Our founder — a data scientist with over two decades of experience in taxation and revenue analytics — has designed and delivered a production analytics system for tax fraud detection and anti-money-laundering screening, currently in use within the revenue department of a Pacific nation.

Gender & Inclusion
The Gender Economic Visibility Index: Mapping Women's Economic Participation in PNG
A composite index built on World Bank Gender Data Landscape figures, quantifying where women's economic activity is counted — and where it disappears from the record.
Who We Are
Maitras.ai is an independent research and advisory platform focused on tax data analytics, AI in revenue administration, and the measurement of economic activity in developing economies.
We are independent of commercial and political sponsorship; our findings rest on published data and stated methodology, and our datasets and code are released for replication wherever agreements permit.
More About Us →The record is usually there. What's missing is the work of making it legible — and holding it accountable to the people it describes.
