Methodology
How TideMetrix approaches market intelligence
TideMetrix combines focused market reporting with structured data and clearly defined methodologies.
The principles below apply across our intelligence. Detailed specifications and calculation rules will be published alongside individual price series as they are introduced.
Our Approach
Our research is designed to distinguish verifiable market developments from claims, estimates and expectations. We prioritize primary sources, direct market engagement and evidence that can be traced to a specific company, facility, product or transaction.
01
IndependentCoverage and methodology are developed around the market and its participants, not a supplier or transaction platform.
02
Evidence-ledPrimary sources and direct market information are prioritized, with important claims checked against supporting evidence wherever possible.
03
StructuredReporting is connected to datasets tracking companies, facilities, products, capacity and market developments.
04
TransparentMethodologies, definitions and material changes will be explained so users can understand what each dataset or price series represents.
Price Intelligence
TideMetrix may publish different forms of price intelligence depending on how a market trades and the evidence available. The methodology will be identified for every series.
Market assessmentsIndependent assessments developed from market information and participant engagement under a defined specification.
Transaction-based indicatorsIndicators calculated from qualifying transaction observations using published inclusion and calculation rules.
Trade-based analyticsPrice analytics derived from customs or other trade data, with product matching, treatment of outliers and calculation methodology clearly described.
Capacity Intelligence
The Capacity Tracker follows identifiable manufacturing projects and changes in capability across the peptide supply chain. Records are updated as new evidence becomes available.
VerificationProjects are supported by company disclosures, regulatory records, official documents or other credible sources wherever available.
StatusProjects are classified according to their latest supported stage, such as announced, under construction or ramping, and operational.
Record structureA tracker record may represent an overall project or a separately disclosed component where that distinction adds useful market detail.
Corrections & Revisions
Market intelligence evolves as new information becomes available. TideMetrix will correct material errors and update historical or project data when stronger evidence changes the underlying record.
01
CorrectionsMaterial factual errors will be corrected when identified and verified.
02
RevisionsStructured datasets may be revised when companies, regulators or other reliable sources provide new or more precise information.
03
Methodology changesMaterial changes to a published price methodology will be documented and communicated before or when they take effect, as appropriate.
Product-specific methodologies
This page sets out TideMetrix’s overall approach. Each price series will have a detailed methodology and specification defining the market represented, eligible data, calculation or assessment process, publication frequency and treatment of exceptional circumstances.
