Methodology

Research Methodology

CoHabby research pages combine public benchmarks, transparent modeling, and carefully constrained internal aggregate snapshots. The goal is to make the assumptions visible and the outputs reusable.

Public benchmark use

Where we use public numbers, we cite the source directly and explain what role the number plays in the model or analysis. Public inputs anchor the work; they do not get disguised as internal discovery.

Internal aggregate sample rules

Internal product data used on public pages must be aggregate-only, anonymous, and stripped of user-level detail. No page should expose personal data, behavioral trails, or operationally sensitive internals.

Snapshot-based internal samples should be labeled clearly as samples, not universal claims about all users or all matches.

Modeling rules

When we model a cost or scenario, we say so plainly. A model is a decision aid, not a disguised survey result. Inputs, assumptions, and excluded factors should be visible on the page or in the downloadable data.

These supporting pages exist so the public site is clear about who writes, how claims are made, and how updates happen.
