What a commissioned review is

A sector review reads a whole niche at once: every website in it checked the same way, in the same weeks, so the figures can be set side by side and cited.

A commissioned review is one you ask for. You name the niche, we agree the sites and the period with you, and the review is yours first.

What is included

  • Up to 100 sites in one niche, chosen with you
  • Every site reviewed on the same criteria in the same period, with the method set out so you can cite it
  • A full review with charts and worked examples, in figures across the niche, never site by site, and no business named
  • Yours alone for two weeks before copies go on sale
  • A briefing for your team on what it shows

How it runs

  1. Scope, agreed in writingWe agree the niche, the websites in it and the period with you, in writing, before any site is read.
  2. The preliminary reviewWe read every website in the niche on the same criteria, the way a visitor sees it.
  3. The final review, two weeks laterTwo weeks after the preliminary review, every website is read again. The figures come from the final review.
  4. Yours alone for two weeksWe deliver the review to you, with its method and evidence. For two weeks nobody else can buy it.
  5. Then copies go on saleAfter that, copies of the full edition go on sale for two weeks. Its findings hold for four weeks from the final review.
