A regulatory data report for cannabis oversight.

Canndata provides a report, typically produced twice per year, that helps regulators understand what is happening in their cannabis data, why it may be happening, and what practical steps may be warranted.

Core offer

The report is the product.

Canndata's core work is a recurring regulatory data report.

Each report reviews state cannabis data against national baselines and uses statistical tools, laboratory knowledge, cannabis-market experience, and industry context to identify patterns that warrant attention.

The result is a report that explains what the data shows, why the patterns may be occurring, and what a regulator can do next.

Report anatomy — every report includes

Each report includes three deliverables.

1

Executive summary

A concise summary of the major findings, interpretation, and recommended next steps.

2

Full report

A complete written report with charts, analysis, findings, context, and recommendations.

3

Code used to produce the analysis

The code used for the analysis, so the work can be reviewed, reproduced, and extended as needed.

What the report can examine

The report can examine testing, markets, and policy effects.

The report is shaped by the state's data and oversight needs. It may examine potency inflation, contaminant reporting patterns, laboratory-level results, inversion, product-category shifts, declining medical markets, market dynamics, or changes following prior regulatory action.

Canndata can also help regulators evaluate the likely effect of proposed policy changes by modeling them against large datasets from other states.

The common thread is the same: Canndata looks for patterns that warrant attention and explains them in a way that supports regulatory decision-making.

Testing patterns

  • Potency
  • Contaminants
  • Lab-level results

Market dynamics

  • Inversion
  • Product-category shifts
  • Medical-market decline

Policy effects

  • Implemented changes
  • Proposed changes
  • Modeling against other states
Previous findings

Each report reviews new data against previous findings.

Each report stands on its own. Later reports also review new data in light of previous findings and recommendations.

Regulators can see whether a pattern persisted, improved, shifted, or resolved after prior attention or action.
