Research built for decisions, not shelf space.
Dr.D Intelligence is the research arm of Dr.D-Analytics Services: independent, evidence-led examinations of industries being reshaped by data, technology and AI. Every figure is traced to its class of evidence — regulator-reported, company-disclosed, third-party sample, or my own modeled estimate — so a reader always knows what is measured and what is reasoned.
The same discipline that governs a client's metric layer governs the research. One definition, stated once, defensible in a boardroom.
Six published reports, four verticals
Gaming & iGaming carries Series 01 and 02; Customer Economics carries Series 03; Financial Markets carries Series 04 and 06; Canadian Housing carries Series 05. The vertical is the subject; the series number is the publication.
The Price of Truth
The Price of Truth
Are prediction markets forecasting the future — or manipulating it? What their prices can be trusted for, and what they cannot.
An evidence-graded examination of prediction markets as information markets: how accurate their prices really are, how much reported volume is independent money at risk, what insiders and controllable outcomes do to integrity, and when a quoted probability deserves trust.

The Ownership Premium
What Canadians are really paying for security, stability and a place to call their own.
An evidence-graded examination of the Canadian rent-versus-buy decision: what premium a household pays for ownership, what appreciation the purchase requires, and what it receives in return in housing, stability and security.

The $5 Trillion Question
Can capital markets finance the AI buildout without breaking the economics — and who is left holding the risk if the cash flow arrives late?
An evidence-led examination of the AI capital cycle: the scale of the buildout, who finances the marginal dollar, what cash returns the assets must earn, where risk migrates, and which signals reveal strain before losses do.
Explore the researchThe Loyalty Illusion
The Loyalty Illusion
Are loyalty programs creating incremental customer value — or just rewarding behavior that would have happened anyway?
A cross-industry examination of loyalty economics: why member spend is not evidence of program value, the four distinct economic ledgers inside most programs, and the difference between predicting who will churn and estimating who a specific action can actually save.

Every Machine Must Earn Its Place
How casino operators should decide what to keep, move, expand, reconfigure or replace.
A capital-allocation framework for the slot floor: how to tell a bad game from a bad location, what proof is required before a replacement, and why authorisation belongs on incremental floor contribution rather than gross machine uplift.

State of Slots 2026
The economics, mechanics, markets and technology shaping the next era of slot gaming.
A regulator-anchored view of the global slot ecosystem: where the money actually sits across online and land-based channels, which mechanics are gaining ground, how supplier concentration behaves at sample level, and how regulation became a product-design variable.
Explore the researchOne research standard. Multiple industries.
Gaming & iGaming, Customer Economics and Financial Markets now carry published research. Subsequent verticals apply the same evidence standard to other industries where data and AI are changing the economics. Nothing below is published until it is published.
Roadmap verticals are planned research, not available publications. No draft, dataset or download exists for a vertical until it is marked published.
Four classes of evidence, never blended.
The distinction is the product. A modeled range and a regulator's published figure are both useful — they are never presented as the same thing.
Published by gambling regulators and state agencies. Cited exactly as reported, with the period and jurisdiction attached.
Audited filings, investor decks and public statements from operators and suppliers.
Participating-operator panels and industry trackers. Always labelled as a sample, never as a total market.
Our own build-up, presented as a range with the assumptions and inputs disclosed. Never blended silently into reported figures.
