C · Post-study Reports

This annexure holds reports written after the main study was completed. The study's five chapters and its company reports were finished in August 2026. Anything that arrives later is recorded here instead of being edited into those chapters, so that the original analysis stays readable as what it was: a picture of the field at the time it was taken.

Why keep them separate. The study reaches conclusions from the evidence it gathered. If later findings were quietly folded into the earlier chapters, a reader could no longer tell which conclusions came from the original work and which were added once the answer was already known. Keeping later reports in their own annexure preserves that difference.

What belongs here. A company, product or finding that the study did not cover, and that would change or challenge one of its conclusions if confirmed. Each report says plainly which part of the study it touches.

The same rules apply. Claims are tagged [Evidence], [Synthesis], [Inference] or [Marketing], sources are cited with dates, and anything that could not be verified is stated as unverified rather than smoothed over.
