Method

How this analysis was built.

ClarisEdge turns search-visible category demand into evidence-bounded findings. Evidence governance determines which opportunity areas meet the standard for inclusion. Demand is independent shopper-language breadth and linked search volume. Access is the volume-weighted mix of open, brand-named, channel-named, and other named search language. Momentum compares the latest twelve months of observed demand with the previous twelve months, and claim sensitivity may add caution to interpretation. Demand Spaces and their Members are overlapping, non-additive lenses for navigating the category, not mutually exclusive segments to be summed.
