Research perspective
A clear path from question to interpretation
Separate the observation date from the transaction period, and account for reporting delays.
Transaction scope
Distinguish invoices, orders and shipments; each describes a different stage of a transaction.
Category definitions
Product categories need a consistent classification before activity can be compared.
Time and frequency
Separate the observation date from the transaction period, and account for reporting delays.
Research perspective
Evidence, definitions and context
Quantity and value
Units, currency and price changes affect how purchasing patterns should be interpreted.
Market context
Consider production cycles, inventory and supplier changes alongside transaction evidence.
Coverage limits
A source may cover only part of a market. Missing records do not establish that no activity occurred.
Transaction scope
Distinguish invoices, orders and shipments; each describes a different stage of a transaction.
Research perspective
A considered view of industrial transactions
A useful brief starts with a clear research question, defined terms and a review period.
