Document
The method, coverage and limitations sit alongside the numbers.
Make it auditable
Public documentation explains how every index is constructed.
GroceryPulse exists to answer one question: how can Canadians see grocery-price movements sooner, more clearly, and with enough transparency to audit the result?
Our answer is the Canadian Grocery Price Index, a documented matched-model weighted Jevons index built on weekly observations across major cities and grocery banners. Every price is compared to the same product in the same store, which is what makes a week-over-week move a real price change rather than a change in what happened to be on the shelf.
Every published figure carries its coverage, its methodology version, and the collection week it came from, so a reader can check the work rather than take it on trust. Where a cell does not meet the publication threshold it is withheld, and the reason is recorded in the revision log. The methodology is public even though the index itself is licensed.
Research and institutional collaboration
GroceryPulse is an independent research publisher. Its weekly price panel is shared with Dalhousie University's Agri-Food Analytics Lab for national grocery-price analysis and commentary, and its figures are cited in Canadian national and regional press. Research enquiries are welcome at research@grocerypulse.ca.
