OPEN FINDINGS
This page will become the public index of what the research is finding, with context attached.
What we learn,
shared openly.
Findings will be published here as the research develops.
CURRENT STATUS
The absence of published findings is intentional: early responses are not being presented as settled evidence.
Research is underway.
We are at an early stage. The current survey is a starting point for understanding everyday business work.

Open findings need more than a headline number.
01 · BASIS
Evidence with context
Published findings will explain the sample, recruitment sources, fieldwork dates, question wording, analysis methods, exclusions and limitations.
02 · LIMITS
No false representativeness
Early self-selected responses are exploratory. They will not be presented as representative of all New Zealand small businesses.
03 · INTERPRETATION
More than one story
We will distinguish what participants reported, our interpretation and what we propose to investigate next. Contradictory evidence belongs in that account too.
PUBLICATION STANDARD
The evidence basis travels with the finding.
Published findings will identify the evidence they draw on and describe material AI involvement where applicable, rather than separating the conclusion from how it was reached.
