What the Industry Data section is
Industry Data is the published record: what the wider restoration market is doing, according to sources that are not you and not your peers. Government series, industry indices, weather and catastrophe data, Verinode Research's own publications, and the trade press. Everything here was published by someone, carries its source, and reads in full whatever tier you are on.
It is the sibling of Benchmarks, and the two split cleanly by where the numbers come from:
- Benchmarks is what the network knows because operators contribute it. Anonymized, pooled, and gated on contribution. It answers where do I stand.
- Industry Data is what was already published. Public, sourced, ungated. It answers what is going on.
Your business never appears anywhere in this section. It is not mixed into these numbers, not used to order them, and not sold. That is not a gating decision, it is simply that none of this is built from operator data in the first place.
Note
Until August 2026 these three tabs lived inside Benchmarks. They moved into their own section so that each section carries one kind of number. Old links still work, benchmarks?tab=industry, ?tab=library, and ?tab=news redirect here.
Where to find it
Open Industry Data from the sidebar under Intelligence, directly beneath Benchmarks, at iq.verinode.ai/industry. A sticky uppercase Industry Data title sits at the top with a glass capsule tab bar under it. On a narrow screen the tab bar scrolls sideways rather than wrapping.
It sits above Forecasting in the sidebar on purpose. Industry Data is the record; Forecasting is the read on it.
The three tabs
1. Conditions
"Published demand, cost, claims, and weather series, with sources. The read on what they mean for your business is in Forecasting."
The market's own numbers, grouped the way a restoration operator cares about them: Demand (is work coming), Labor (your biggest cost line), Input Costs (what materials cost), Insurance & Claims (the claims environment and getting paid), Economy (the macro backdrop), and Weather & Catastrophe (what creates the work).
An Out of norm strip runs across the top, ahead of the categories, carrying the few series pulling hardest on your week. It reads across every category at once, so you see what moved without having to guess which bucket it lives in. A Region control and a Cards / List switch sit above the list.
This tab was called "Industry Data" while it lived inside Benchmarks. The name moved up to the section; the tab is now Conditions, which is what it actually shows. See the Conditions tab.
2. Analyst Reports
"Restoration Software Intelligence Reports and field analysis from Verinode Research."
The Verinode Research library: Restoration Software Intelligence Reports and the field analysis our research team writes on the tools, vendors, and operating patterns of the trade. Public and member articles read in full for everyone signed up; premium reports read in full on paid tiers and show a teaser with an upgrade path for Contributors. See analyst reports.
3. News
The restoration industry feed: reporting, interviews, product releases, events, and Verinode's own research. Items about vendors and tools in your own stack are surfaced so the news that actually touches your business does not get buried. See the News tab.
Watching a series
Every series on the Conditions tab carries a watch control, on the card, the list row, and the deep-dive header. Watching one records where it stands today and tells you when it moves meaningfully. It is the same watch mechanism used on peer benchmarks, so an industry series and one of your own numbers can sit side by side on the same watchlist. See watching a metric.
What this section is not
It is not a read on your business, and it is not a recommendation. Conditions shows you that construction wages moved or that claims frequency is up; it does not tell you what to do about it. That interpretation, scoped to your book and your region, is what Forecasting is for, and every series here points there.
It is also not gated. If a number on this page is missing, it is because the series has not published, not because you have not earned it.
Getting the most from it
- 1Open Industry Data from the sidebar under Intelligence.
