Our Research Methodology

We believe in transparency and accuracy. Every statistic on our website is researched and verified using the following methodology:

1

Primary Source Identification

We prioritize peer-reviewed studies, industry reports from recognized organizations (MGMA, Harvard Business Review, BrightLocal), and official company data.

2

Cross-Reference Verification

Each claim is verified against at least one additional source when available. We note when sources have varying data ranges.

3

Date Relevance

We prioritize recent data (within 2-3 years) and note when foundational studies are older but still industry-standard references.

4

Conservative Estimates

When ranges exist, we use mid-range or conservative estimates rather than outliers.

5

Ongoing Review

We review and update our citations quarterly to ensure accuracy as new research becomes available.
