Why does the template not include industry averages?
There is not yet enough consistent, disclosable data for a reliable benchmark. The template helps teams report their own data without inventing an average.
Searchore public information
Until there is enough consistent anonymous data for a credible benchmark, use a reusable method template. It contains no invented industry averages and helps teams report their own public data transparently.
Start with the period status, three important changes, main driver, risk or opportunity, and named owner. Do not begin with dashboard screenshots.
Expand through volume, topics, sources, sentiment, competitor context, and representative samples. Keep the original public URL, time, and current coverage with every important claim.
Record terms, period, source categories, deduplication rules, classification coverage, and missing data. Write “insufficient data” rather than filling a gap with an invented benchmark.
