Methodology FAQ

Clarifying our data collection standards, ethical protocols, and peer-review processes.

How is field data verified for accuracy?

All qualitative data undergoes a triple-verification process. We cross-reference participant testimony with localized economic indicators and anonymized transactional metadata to ensure a high-fidelity representation of labor conditions.

Are your research participants compensated?

Yes. Recognizing that time is the primary currency of the precarious, all interviewees are compensated at a rate exceeding the local living wage. This ensures we are not contributing to the very extraction we are documenting.

How do you protect participant anonymity?

We utilize advanced de-identification protocols. All geographic markers are "fuzzed" to a 1km radius, and identifying professional details are scrubbed to prevent retaliatory actions from platform algorithms or employers.

Can external researchers access the raw datasets?

Anonymized data subsets are available to accredited academic institutions upon request. Please use the inquiry form above to submit a formal research proposal for access to the core database.

How often is the Subject Analysis Index updated?

The index is a living document. Secondary variables are updated monthly, while our Primary Research Pillars undergo comprehensive longitudinal reviews every six months to reflect shifting global economic trends.

Is Life Prekarious affiliated with any political entity?

No. We are an independent research collective funded through private grants and academic fellowships. Our priority is the objective documentation of structural socio-economic shifts.

How can I submit a new variable for investigation?

We welcome community-led inquiries. If you have identified a emerging economic stressor in your local hub, submit a "General Investigation" request via the form above for our team to review.
