Loading 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.
Methodology
What a publishable release requires
Methodology 0.7.0-preview. 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.
