How we work

Numbers you can check, not marketing claims

  • Real platform data

    Built from anonymised, aggregated data from forms on RecRam. We never publish individual responses, and no customer can be identified.

  • Every number shows its base

    Each figure comes with the sample it was measured on and the one caveat that has to travel with it.

  • Methods and limits in the open

    Each report explains what we counted, what we left out and why, so you can judge the numbers for yourself.

  • Stable links for citations

    Each edition keeps its own URL. New data means a new version, and links to an older one never break.
