Data & Methodology

Intelligence groundedin evidence.

USClic combines authoritative U.S. public data with structured analysis. Our methodology is designed to preserve where a number came from, what period it represents and where interpretation begins.

Core connected sources

Trusted U.S. public data.

U.S. Census Bureau

American Community Survey (ACS)

USClic uses available Census data to understand demographic and socioeconomic conditions within the selected geography.

Examples of evidence

  • Households
  • Median household income
  • Per-capita income
  • Median age
  • Poverty indicators
  • Survey-based employment indicators

BLS labor-market observations help USClic provide more current context about employment conditions within a selected state.

Examples of evidence

  • Employment
  • Unemployment
  • Labor force
  • Unemployment rate

Federal award and spending data

Federal award data is used to examine relevant government purchasing activity associated with an industry and geography.

Examples of evidence

  • Federal obligations
  • Award counts
  • Awarding agencies
  • Representative awards
  • Award activity by industry

Methodology

From source data to market intelligence.

USClic does more than display raw statistics. The platform organizes evidence into a research workflow while keeping the boundary between data and interpretation visible.

01

Retrieve

USClic requests relevant information from connected public data services based on the selected industry and geography.

02

Normalize

Different sources are converted into a consistent internal structure while preserving their original source, geography and reporting period.

03

Validate

Quantitative evidence is kept separate from narrative interpretation so sourced values are not silently replaced by generated estimates.

04

Interpret

AI-assisted analysis helps explain the available evidence, identify patterns and organize business implications without becoming the source of verified statistics.

05

Report

Evidence, interpretation, limitations and strategic implications are organized into a structured USClic market intelligence report.

Understanding your report

Not every statement has the same evidence status.

USClic is designed to communicate the difference between sourced facts, analysis, estimates and information gaps.

VERIFIED

Verified evidence

A quantitative fact directly supported by an identified external dataset or source record.

ANALYTICAL

Analytical interpretation

A reasoned interpretation of available evidence. It provides context but is not itself an original government statistic.

ESTIMATED

Estimated or calculated

A modeled or calculated value that should be explicitly identified as an estimate and accompanied by its assumptions where applicable.

NOT CONNECTED

Data not currently connected

Information that would improve the analysis but is not available from the connected evidence sources for that report.

Different sources can describe different periods and concepts.

A Census survey estimate and a recent BLS labor-market observation may both be valid while describing different periods, methodologies or populations. USClic preserves this distinction rather than treating the figures as directly interchangeable.

Federal obligations and award records from USAspending describe federal purchasing activity. They should not be interpreted as the total commercial market size of an industry.
