What a useful shortlist must prove.
These checks keep the desk useful before enough comparable, source-backed products are ready for a ranked recommendation.

Start with the decisions the data must support, then verify that the product answers them clearly.
- 02Measurement integrity
Inspect identity resolution, sampling, attribution rules, missing data, and known sources of bias.
- 03Implementation cost
Include instrumentation, governance, maintenance, warehouse, and analyst time, not only subscription price.
- 04Privacy and ownership
Confirm consent controls, retention, residency, deletion, and access to raw or exportable data.
The job, intent, scope, and evaluation criteria are defined for this category.
