Original Research
An honest account of what this section is today, and what it is for.
What we have not yet done
We have not conducted a dedicated market survey, player-behavior study, or original statistical research project. We won't claim otherwise. This page exists to set up the standard such work will follow when it happens, not to announce results that don't exist.
What already exists, in the same spirit
One real, evidence-based example already lives on this site: our currency page is built on real market reporting about dollarization in Somalia, cited directly rather than assumed. That's the standard — sourced, dated, honestly labelled — that any future original research on this site will be held to.
The standard we'll follow
See our Research Methodology for the specific standard — source evaluation, dating, and correction process — that will apply to any original research published here. For how our everyday guides and articles are researched and verified, see our Editorial Policy instead — that's a related but separate standard.
