Our research standard

Before something is published as Kibbo Research, it has to meet all of the following:

  • Built on primary sources or systematically collected data — not secondhand summaries of someone else's reporting.
  • Methodology published alongside the findings, so the work can be checked, not just trusted.
  • Original tables and charts, built from the underlying data rather than reused from another outlet.
  • Downloadable data where Kibbo owns or has the right to share it — see the Consumer Data Library.
  • A stated last-updated date, so it's clear how current the findings are.
  • Limitations stated plainly, including gaps in the data that couldn't be verified.
  • Conclusions that follow from the data itself, not from a predetermined narrative.

Factual corrections to published research are logged publicly in the Corrections Log →.
