Questions
Questions we get asked.
Do you work with the platforms?+
No. We audit from the outside — the way a shopper meets the shelf. No API access, no partnerships, no permission required.
Can I rerun the measurement?+
Yes. Sampling rules, seed selection, capture procedure, metric definitions and the visual-representation codebook are published on GitHub under CC BY 4.0. Any researcher can rerun it on the same platforms or on one we have not reached.
Are individual stores named?+
No. Stores are anonymized by category and catalog size, and datasets are published without URLs. Extreme cases are reported as examples, never as identifiable storefronts.
Where are the data?+
Anonymized datasets are deposited on Zenodo with DOIs alongside each publication — September 2026. Capture losses are reported, never silently dropped.
Are the figures on this site final?+
They are pre-publication figures from the program’s frozen analyses. Both papers are in preparation; the published versions take precedence over anything shown here.
