How we work

Methodology

Every Bioy Research report follows a traceable method: primary sources, cross-checks between data points, explicit confidence levels and a clear cut-off date. This page explains how we turn scattered information into an actionable recommendation.

Our process

From verified sources to an actionable recommendation.

01

Primary sources, whenever they exist

Every report starts from primary and official sources: statistical agencies, public company registries, trade associations, regulatory reports and the companies' own data. We prioritise source data over second-hand figures.

02

Data triangulation

No relevant figure is published from a single source. We cross-check at least two or three independent origins and, when they disagree, we say so rather than picking the most convenient number. Consistency across sources is our quality filter.

03

Explicit confidence levels

Every quantitative figure carries a confidence level: high when it comes from a primary or corroborated source; medium when it comes from a consultancy, trade press or a reasonable estimate; low when it is an operational assumption. We never present an estimate as if it were audited data.

04

No inflated figures

The sector is full of reports with contradictory, inflated market figures. Our commitment is the opposite: when a figure doesn't exist in audited form, we say so clearly. We prefer an honest «there is no reliable public figure» to a number invented to two decimal places.

05

Field data and our own verification

Where it adds value, we build our own data: verified counts, brand-by-brand competitive maps with information from public registries, and densities we calculate ourselves. We document the method behind each calculation so it is reproducible.

06

Cut-off date and updates

Every report states its data period and its edition date. Markets change; that's why we date everything and publish updated editions instead of letting old figures run without warning.

07

Cited sources and reproducibility

Every report includes an appendix of sources with their use and confidence level. Our goal is that any claim can be traced back to its origin. For an independent firm, transparency is the most solid form of authority.

Our standard

ED7: the standard we work to

ED7 is the bar we hold our reports to. It is not a marketing label: these are concrete properties you can check the moment you open the PDF, and we chose to spell them out because they are what separates a document you read from one you can decide on.

Every figure has a source and date

The figures behind the conclusion never stand alone: each one carries where it comes from, how current it is and how confident we are publishing it. You can trace any of them back to source without emailing us.

The economic model is explicit

We don't hand you a final number and ask you to trust it. The assumptions are stated one by one, and the report shows how the conclusion moves when they change: what holds it up, what breaks it and at which threshold.

It settles a decision, not a sector

Every report states up front which decision it helps you make, for which type of buyer, and the conditions under which the recommendation stops holding. If something doesn't change a decision, it doesn't take up pages.

The conclusion arrives contested

The recommendation is published with the serious objections already answered and the limits of the research in plain view. Where a reliable figure simply doesn't exist, the report says so in place rather than filling the gap.
