The tool
Run the State of Recovery Studios
Walk the release standard a future report has to clear: what a record is, what goes in the denominator, what travels with a published number, and what cannot be said from one freeze.
This is the one view that runs past the vendor frame's 4,000px limit on a desktop too, so the last stretch of the release standard sits below the cut. The open-in-tab link above reaches all of it.
Preparing State of Recovery Studios…
This preview summarizes the proposed method for a convenience sample of source-backed records collected through Praxium's directory research. It is not a census, representative survey, market-size estimate, or proof of industry adoption, demand, revenue, or performance.
Sample walkthrough
A worked example: one future table, fully furnished
Take a single metric a future report might carry — the share of observed studios offering cold plunge — and here is everything the release standard requires before it can ship.
The metric requested
- Metric
Share of observed studios offering cold plunge
- Unit
Deduplicated location — not account, brand, or source record
What the standard requires around it
- Denominator
Included locations in one frozen, versioned, public-safe release
exclusions listed next to the table, not in a footnote appendix
- Furniture
Snapshot date, source-coverage share, and a confidence label travel with the number
- What it cannot say yet
No growth or trend language — that needs at least two comparable freezes
- Change control
Any restatement is documented in the release change log
Illustrative structure only. No industry result is being claimed until a refreshed, reviewed, public-safe freeze exists — that is the entire point of publishing the method first.
What you get
What the methodology preview contains
A proposed metric catalog for observed locations, modality share and co-occurrence, source coverage, and confidence.
A data dictionary separating account, brand, location, and source-record units.
Required denominators, exclusions, snapshot dates, and limitations for every future table.
A release and change-log standard for comparable future datasets.

There is no report yet. This is how you hear when there is.
The standard on this page is what a first release has to clear. The brief is where the freeze, the change log and the restatements get published.

Methodology
What a publishable release requires
Method 0.7.0-preview, published 2026-07-22. Next review: After refreshed public-safe data freeze.
- 01A publishable release requires a frozen, versioned, public-safe dataset with source rights and review state recorded.
- 02Counts and shares must name their unit and denominator. A single freeze cannot support growth or trend language.
- 03At least two comparable releases are required before quarter-over-quarter or year-over-year comparisons are eligible.

Frequently asked questions
Is this the 2026 State of Recovery Studios report?
Not yet. This is the methodology and release-standard preview. Praxium will not present the current mixed-generation research artifacts as a current industry report.
Why does the preview not estimate market size?
The current source is a convenience sample of observed records, not a representative sampling frame. Multiplying it into a national market estimate would create false precision.
When can Praxium report trends?
After at least two comparable, reviewed, public-safe frozen releases use the same unit, inclusion rules, and methodology—or clearly document a restatement.
What data will the report be built from?
Source-backed records collected through Praxium's directory research, frozen into a versioned, public-safe release with source rights and review state recorded. The current mixed-generation research artifacts do not meet that bar — which is why no report has shipped yet.
How is this different from the Market Gap Explorer?
The gap explorer is a dated interactive preview built on one June 2026 research snapshot. This page defines the standard any future recurring report must meet — units, denominators, exclusions, freshness, and the two-freeze rule before trend claims are eligible.
Publish the method before the number.
The same rule runs a studio: name the unit, name the denominator, and say what one month cannot tell you. Praxium is where that discipline lives day to day.
