Evidence and research
We show how measurement works, how the system develops and how category studies and client projects are published. Every resource states its evidence level.
A finding, a market observation and a project outcome are treated as three different evidence levels.
Credibility standard
What can be verified today
An inconclusive result is not hidden or replaced with a simulation.
Methodology
Public definitions, question sets, coding rules and limitations make it possible to assess process quality.
Product log
Changes to functionality and data presentation.
Question, answer, model, date and coding.
What the system can show and what it cannot confirm.
Research register
The register records the category, dates, models, sample size, key observations and limitations. Market research remains separate from service-effectiveness claims.

Publication standard
Publication standard
Minimum category-research protocol
Observation, interpretation and a claim of effectiveness are three different levels of evidence.
What counts as evidence
Supports the quality and repeatability of the research process.
Shows that a finding has source material and history.
Demonstrates a mechanism but is not a client result.
Can support a change claim only with a baseline, scope, follow-up wave and permission.
Next step
We select categories with a clear comparison process and enough brands for a useful sample.
FAQ
A category study describes a market in a defined sample. A client project can support a change only by comparing the baseline, implementation scope, follow-up wave and business conditions.
No. Market research can describe brand presence and answer mechanisms, but it does not prove the effect of a specific implementation.
Only approved material is published. It should include the method, baseline, change list, follow-up wave, limitations and a business result only where it can be connected responsibly.
