Understand the transactions behind industrial markets.
Peaklinemail presents a framework for transaction intelligence. Explore definitions, research questions and the evidence needed to interpret industrial transactions responsibly.
Product categories need a consistent classification before activity can be compared.
Evidence, definitions and context
Separate the observation date from the transaction period, and account for reporting delays.
Transaction scope
Distinguish invoices, orders and shipments; each describes a different stage of a transaction.
Category definitions
Product categories need a consistent classification before activity can be compared.
Time and frequency
Separate the observation date from the transaction period, and account for reporting delays.
Quantity and value
Units, currency and price changes affect how purchasing patterns should be interpreted.
A clear path from question to interpretation
Market context
Consider production cycles, inventory and supplier changes alongside transaction evidence.
Coverage limits
A source may cover only part of a market. Missing records do not establish that no activity occurred.
Transaction scope
Distinguish invoices, orders and shipments; each describes a different stage of a transaction.
