Our evidence contract

From question to decision

A method has value only when it can be understood, reproduced and challenged.

The laboratory uses one consistent protocol for its reference dossiers. It shows what the data can establish — and what they cannot support.

The scientific and methodological hub

Six disciplines.
One standard.

Six fields for measuring effects, making models explicit and defining what the data can support in a decision.

01Δ

Marketing Measurement

Measure marketing effects while separating attribution, incrementality and causality.

  • MMM
  • Incrementality
  • Experimentation
02ε

Pricing Science

Connect price, demand and perceived value with explicit assumptions and uncertainty.

  • Elasticity
  • Willingness to pay
  • Conjoint
03C

Customer Science

Analyze customer value, retention and behavior over time without hiding data limitations.

  • CLV
  • Churn
  • Cohorts
04μ

Market Research

Design reliable measures for observing markets, perceptions and preferences.

  • Sampling
  • Scales
  • Bias
05ƒ

Marketing Models

Formalize response, diffusion and demand to compare mechanisms rather than narrate a curve.

  • Saturation
  • Carry-over
  • Demand functions
06P

Decision Science

Compare scenarios and quantify uncertainty before preparing a human judgment.

  • Monte Carlo
  • Sensitivity
  • Bayes

Reproducible datasets

Learn from data you can inspect.

Each example dataset is synthetic, documented and intentionally compact. It is designed to reproduce a method, not to generalize a result to a market.

MSC-T01 — MSC-T08

Five calculations, five interpretation boundaries.

Each tool exposes the calculation and states what it does not prove.

MSC-T01

A/B sample size

3,841 per arm

Two-sided normal approximation, 1:1 allocation, 80% power, α = 5%, without attrition or design effect.

MSC-T02

Difference-in-differences

Difference-in-differences: +7.0 index points

Descriptive 2×2 contrast; causal only when the design supports parallel trends.

MSC-T04

Constant elasticity

-6.6%

Conditional scenario, not a price recommendation.

MSC-T05

Price-volume-margin

P₀ 100 € · VC 55 € · Q₀ 10 000
Contribution change: +3.8%

Conditional scenario, not a price recommendation.

MSC-P-024 →
MSC-T08

Monte Carlo

Probability of positive contribution: ≈ 99.9% (MC SE ≈ 0.1 pp · Wilson 95% CI ≈ 99.6–100.0%)

2,000 fixed-seed draws; only elasticity follows an unbounded normal, without MSC-010 dependencies.

From evidence to decision

The method bounds the evidence. Arbitration comes next.

Marketing Science Center establishes what the data support. When several scenarios must then be compared, documented and arbitrated, Innovatio takes over.
