Stats are drawn from four source classes: (1) the supplier's own public website, (2) independent industry reporting from publications like Robb Report, Domus, OpenPR, (3) public review aggregators including YouTube reviews and forum threads, and (4) direct supplier communications when offered. Numbers without a primary source are flagged as estimates. We do not publish stats we cannot trace to a citable origin.
