What qualifies as BizFacts research
A published analysis must identify the source vintage, unit of analysis, formulas, exclusions, and revision policy. An experiment must freeze its sample and analysis rules before results are interpreted. A plan is labeled as a plan; it never borrows the authority of findings that do not yet exist.
| Work | Status | Evidence available |
|---|---|---|
| July 2026 business applications report | Published | Census monthly file, calculations, downloadable extract, and limitations. |
| Local-business AI visibility pilot | Planned | Fixed design and blank observation, mention, and citation schemas; no results. |
The shared rules for source vintages, transformations, comparisons, and experiments are in the BizFacts data and methodology policy.
