Authority Briefings

How Buyers Decide Before They Compare

These briefings document the psychological, economic, and structural forces that determine which brands are trusted, shortlisted, and selected before conscious evaluation begins.


Each briefing isolates one mechanism.
Together, they explain why authority now outweighs visibility.
