Frequently Asked Questions

Are these real customer stories?

No. These are aggregate analyses of real data — we never publish named individuals or invented customer stories. Every figure is drawn from our proprietary data and presented as a pattern.

How often are case studies updated?

We review and update case studies quarterly as new data becomes available. Significant updates are noted with a date and logged in our corrections log.

Can I request a case study on a specific engine?

We prioritise case studies based on enquiry volume and reader demand. If you'd like to see a study on a specific engine, please use our contact page to suggest it.

How do you ensure the data is representative?

Our sample sizes are chosen to be representative of the enquiry volume for that engine or model. We also note limitations and caveats in each study. See our methodology for full details.

What does [EM-VERIFIED] mean in a case study?

It means the figure comes directly from our internal CRM data — real quote requests from UK owners. All our data tags are explained on our data verification page.

Aggregate Data Only No invented individuals, no named customer narratives — ever.
