How Our Research Works
Methodology first
Eligibility, geography, questions, scoring and minimum sample sizes are documented and locked before any response is collected.
Real respondents
Only adults who confirm they personally visited a business may evaluate it. No dispensary is preselected as a winner.
Predetermined rules
Scoring, exclusions and tie-handling rules are fixed in advance and are not changed after seeing the results.
Published findings
Results are published only once minimum response thresholds are met, alongside the full methodology and known limitations.
Research Standards
Every My Daily Discount Research study follows the same integrity rules: respondents may only evaluate businesses they have personally visited; comparison sets are frozen before fielding begins and are sourced from the applicable public regulatory record; responses are never fabricated, modified or selectively deleted to produce a preferred result; and no business is guaranteed a favorable score, ranking, award or “Best” designation.
Reasonable measures — rate limiting, duplicate detection and bot-signal flagging — are used to protect the dataset, and a response is never excluded merely because it contains a negative rating or unfavorable opinion.
Methodology & Transparency
Each study links to its own full, crawlable methodology page, documenting exactly who qualified, how businesses were selected, how responses were scored and what limitations apply. Any material commercial relationship between the research operator and a business discussed in a study is disclosed on that study's methodology page.
Future Research
Future Local Shopping & Consumer Experience Studies
My Daily Discount Research is built as permanent, reusable infrastructure — future studies will use the same documented-methodology approach across additional geographies and categories.
