The Method: source-tiering and confidence, in plain language
Why an Enpath answer carries a tier on every source and a number on every claim — and how to read them.
Most advice asks you to trust the logo. We’d rather you trust the evidence. So every checkable fact in an Enpath deliverable carries two things a normal report hides: where it came from, and how sure we are.
Source tiers
Every checkable fact is tagged by the kind of source behind it.
- T1 — Primary / official. KOTRA, KITA, UN Comtrade, government registries, regulators. The bedrock.
- T2 — Reputable secondary. Established industry and research sources.
- T3 — AI-inferred. Always flagged as inference, never sold as fact.
The rule that keeps you safe
Anything specific and checkable — a number, a regulation, a name — is traced to a tiered source and confirmed by a domain expert before it ships. AI fabricates market sizes and regulations with total confidence. In market-entry advice, one confidently-wrong claim ends a firm. So verification isn’t our marketing; it’s our survival — and your protection.
Confidence, stated
Every claim carries a confidence score, and every deliverable carries an overall confidence band. We’d rather tell you a number is 0.74 than pretend it’s certain. Calibrated honesty is what lets you weight the decision correctly.
