Method

How this edition was built.

ClarisEdge turns search-visible category demand into evidence-bounded recommendations. Evidence governance determines which opportunities are eligible for publication. Each published Opportunity Profile then receives one Recommendation: Prioritize, Validate, or Monitor, using an explicit Demand, Access, and Momentum matrix. Demand reflects independent shopper-language breadth and linked search volume. Access reflects the volume-weighted mix of open, brand-named, channel-named, and other named search language. Momentum reflects recent historical direction. Demand, Access, and Momentum are considered together through an explicit decision matrix. CPC provides descriptive commercial context only, while claim sensitivity may add a caution to the recommended next move without changing the underlying Demand, Access, or Momentum assessment.

Demand Spaces may overlap and should not be summed as mutually exclusive market segments.
