A measured before, dated
Battery of 12Twelve questions asked identically of every store, brand name shown and domain withheld, so the assistant has to recognise the store the way a shopper would.
Evidence
Burnish is new. Rather than invent a result, here is the bar one has to clear.
Nothing to list
No store has been measured long enough, with its owner’s agreement to publish, for a case study to exist. An instrument that manufactures its own evidence has stopped being an instrument, and that is the only thing this product is.
The obvious shortcut
Because an unnamed, uncheckable result is indistinguishable from a fabricated one — and we would know which it was while you could not.
Instead
The trail the product keeps while it works, which is what a case study would be built from.
The requirement
Written now, while there is nothing on the page to bend them around. Anything short of all five is a testimonial with a chart on it.
Twelve questions asked identically of every store, brand name shown and domain withheld, so the assistant has to recognise the store the way a shopper would.
Which fixes: twelve run automatically under confidence floors, twenty-nine wait for approval, and six dependency checks run before any write.
Same battery, same rolling window, sample size printed beside the result. Under ten samples the product draws no band at all.
Correlation-based, not a randomised controlled trial. Orders are canonical; the cohort view runs sixty days against a thirty-day baseline.
Named store, named numbers, published because the owner read it and said yes. No composite, no initials, no “a leading skincare brand”.
That asymmetry is the whole problem Burnish removes from AI answers about your store. Importing it into our own marketing would be a strange way to begin.
Per-Action lift shows nothing until at least seven days and three measurement points sit behind it. Where a change cannot be undone, the app says so instead of pretending otherwise.
The first one
If you run Burnish and the numbers move, we would like to publish it with your name on it and your figures intact.
