Measured Choice Research

The technical layer behind the decision.

Versioned methods, original market data, field definitions, limitations and reproducible calculations. Consumer pages stay readable; this library carries the full technical scope.

Research library change log

Aug. 18, 2026 — Publication QA pass. Added public claim labels, a source-map/data-release page, downloadable public claim CSV, WP-METHOD-001 source mapping, and explicit holds on unfinished price-history, biofilm and normalized-incident metrics.

Publication standard

Built to be auditable and citable.

Each finished paper should publish as canonical HTML with a PDF mirror, version/date/change log, definitions, methods, results, limitations, visible source mapping and downloadable data when rights allow. Structured data must match visible content. Public citation pages should remain crawlable by search systems.

This prototype remains noindex until production deployment, crawler-access and canonical-URL QA are complete.
