WorldbyFlow for solo market research practitioners

Without a syndicated subscription, a market read has to be built from public sources and defended figure by figure. WorldbyFlow builds it that way: every figure names its issuer, states what it counts, and the spread between estimates is shown, so a small practice delivers a sizing a large client can check.

Written for Independent market researcher serving small and mid-size clients.·Runs in the General domain

Where this fits in your week

A one-person research practice serves clients who need what the big shops sell at a price they can pay. The scans here are the core of that offer: a market read with an honest sizing ledger, a buyer read with each claim graded, public opinion with method shown, attributed quotes from inside the category, and a graded explanation when a client's number moves.

Lead scan

Market Research

5 credits · deep dive · about 3–6 min

A sizing read where every figure names its issuer and what it counts, and divergent estimates are shown as a spread. The market chapter without the subscription.

Try it on: a subject you already hold an opinion about, so you can grade the result against what you know.

A working path

From a first run to a result you can hand over

The order matters. The first read gives you the structure; the next ones fill the parts that are hardest to source by hand.

01

Run Market Research on a category you have sized by hand

Compare the ledger with your own work. If the issuers and the spread match what you found the slow way, the fast way is sound.

5 credits
02

Add Buyer Research for the demand side

Each claim graded. The demonstrated ones go in the report; the inferred ones go in the caveats.

4 credits
03

Add Voices for the color

Attributed quotes from inside the category. The page clients quote back to you.

3 credits
04

Deliver it

Export as a PDF with the sources, or share as a page the client can open without an account.

No credits.

What comes back

A result whose claims carry their grades

Sourced, not asserted

Every figure and quote links to where it came from. A claim the scan could not source is marked as such rather than dressed up.

Verified or grounded
Reported or attributed
Contested
Open question

Ready to hand over

Export the report as a PDF, or share it as a page the client opens from your email with every figure sourced.

How AI-Attributed vs Total Corporate Layoffs Are Measured

Read the research →

The AI-attributed layoff figure is a measure of what companies choose to disclose, not an independently audited count of jobs automation replaced, because Challenger's reason field depends entirely on employer language with no external verification step.

Run Market Research on something you already know

The fastest way to judge the result is to pick a subject you know cold and read it against what you know. If a colleague sent you here with an invitation, the credits land on your account when you sign up.
