Coming SoonHow Our Research Works
Four steps, fixed before a single response is collected.
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 Cannabis Insider Hub 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 created, altered, or selectively deleted to produce a preferred result.
No business is guaranteed a favorable score, ranking, award, or “Best” designation.
Reasonable measures, such as 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.
