State of category margins.
Quarterly benchmark reports for pricing teams, manufacturers, and analysts. Each report packages the full markup-index distribution for a category — medians, quartiles, and entry/mid/premium price-band breakdowns — computed from our estimated bill-of-materials catalog and frozen in an auditable snapshot, so every report is reproducible from its stored aggregates.
