Research & Data brings together content built on original surveys, analyzed datasets, or documented sources rather than opinion or personal experience. The central question is always how a claim was produced and how a reader can check it. That is what separates this format from a commentary piece, which rests on judgment rather than evidence.
What belongs here
This includes original surveys, processed datasets, and market figures that disclose a visible methodology: sample size, time frame, and source. That disclosure is what separates a research piece from a plain assertion and lets other writers verify or challenge the numbers later.
Readers reach for this format when a number or a trend needs backing, whether as the basis for a decision, a citation in another article, or a comparison drawn across several time periods and markets.
