What this brief does

Evidence, not vibes

We reconstruct the phenomenon using official INEGI microdata and cross-check it with platform behavior signals.

Hybrid methodology

Structured survey pipelines + unstructured social data pipelines, with transparent assumptions and limitations.

Decision-ready outputs

Profiles, splits, regional patterns, and program implications that can be operationalized.

Method

Hybrid pipeline

Click each side to see what we do and why it’s reliable.

Inputs
  • ENOE microdata (Q3-2023)
  • ENDUTIH microdata (2022)
Steps
  • Re-engineering and isolation of the target population
  • Feature construction (gender, autonomy, formal/informal signals, connectivity)
  • Comparison splits and regional distribution outputs

Strength: nationally representative baselines and defensible statistical framing.

Inputs
  • Strategic regional groups
  • Platform posts and interaction traces
Steps
  • LLM and OCR-assisted extraction
  • Taxonomies, sentiment, and clustering
  • Qualitative decoding for interpretation (“safe zones”, behavioral patterns)

Strength: captures real marketplace behavior that surveys often miss.
