Strict Privacy & K-Anonymity

Personal client booking histories, intake medical records, and private messages are strictly excluded from statistical aggregation. Geographic and service reports enforce minimum-group thresholds ($k \ge 5$) to prevent micro-targeting or individual provider re-identification.

Editorial Neutrality

Establishment rankings, search sorting, and directory aggregations are never altered by paid placement, advertising spend, or commission tiers. Statistics reflect actual verified directory entries and authenticated community reviews.

Research Scope vs Total Market

Figures presented represent Massage Nexus indexed and field-verified records rather than theoretical total market estimates. As research coverage expands across newly surveyed regions, historical baseline metrics are preserved for longitudinal comparison.
