How accurate are the numbers, and can I trust them?
Market sizing is reconciled across leading sources (Gartner, BCG, MarketsandMarkets, government bodies and more), with outliers removed and a confidence-graded median used for the base year. Every figure is source-cited and traceable to its origin, and an analyst validates the model before delivery.
