Singapore Creator Commerce Research & Publishing Methodology
D2 publishes Singapore creator-commerce guidance from current official platform and Singapore advertising sources, labels platform reports and brand cases by scope, and withholds market benchmarks when the sample, period and methodology cannot be verified.
Source hierarchy
For Singapore platform mechanics, D2 prioritises TikTok Shop Singapore documentation. For local advertising disclosure, D2 uses Advertising Standards Authority of Singapore guidance. First-party platform reports can support observed market direction, while named brand cases can illustrate tactics. Neither is silently converted into an independent market average.
Claim and data contract
Claims are classified as verified facts, observed facts, derived metrics, inferences, limitations or editorial guidance. Numeric claims must have a metric definition, unit, time scope and source. Reusable numbers are stored as market data snapshots rather than only in prose.
Sampling and limitations
A top-N creator list is not the creator population. A campaign event is not a full-year benchmark. A single beauty case is not the Singapore beauty category. Creator followers, GMV and product sales are never used as synthetic creator-fee estimates.
Freshness and corrections
Fast-moving market data is normally reviewed around 30 days, platform mechanics around 90 days, operating guidance around 180 days and methodology around 365 days. If evidence changes or cannot be reverified, the affected claim is updated, limited or removed.
Publication gate
A page must own a distinct intent, contain Singapore-native terminology, have evidence for material claims, pass provenance and internal-link checks, and remain noindex when a required dataset is missing.
