The industry evidence
Based on 17 WTiN interviews, August 2026. Scores are qualitative judgements assigned by one analyst, not a statistical index or a representative measure of an entire sector. Where interviews differed, scores reflect the more acute exposure, with that difference explained in the rationale. Your answers are shown separately from this research.
