Demo example
Ilmarde Audio is a fictitious brand used to show how to read a profile: identity, sources and indicators kept apart, missing information declared and no assessment of a real company.
The subject first
Name, domain and products are linked to the correct identity, with period and sources. Only then are the indicators read.
The identity elements of the demo brand that are checked before reading any indicator, with the reason for each.
| Element | Demo value | Why it is checked first |
|---|---|---|
| Name | Ilmarde Audio, a made-up brand. | It distinguishes the brand from namesakes. |
| Domain | The website declared in the demo profile. | It links pages to the right entity. |
| Products | Headphones and earbuds from the Quessio and Brissane lines. | It attributes every judgement to the right product. |
The evidence
Every published piece of information carries its source, right of use and correction procedure. The assessment stays independent of buying a plan.
The three things that go with every piece of information in the demo profile, and the separation between assessment and purchase of a plan.
Missing data
Unavailable information is shown as such, never replaced with estimates or zeros. A reading example is not a market assessment.
The same missing data point in the demo profile, presented as a zero or an estimate and presented as a declared absence.
| Shown badly | Shown well | |
|---|---|---|
| The value | A zero in place of the missing data point. | The words “not available”, with no number. |
| The estimate | A value derived from similar brands. | No estimate: the data point has not been observed. |
| The judgement | The gap read as a negative signal. | No judgement until the data point exists. |
