Methodology

Facts first. Analysis second. Decisions stay yours.

Induvaya is designed to narrow a market question with traceable evidence—not to manufacture certainty or replace buyer validation.

1. Product classification

Induvaya first detects a product family, asks the classification-changing questions for that family, and only then searches a structured Harmonized System directory. Candidate codes explain why they matched and what fact separates nearby alternatives.

If a source revision or official publication link is unavailable, a user-selected code remains candidate confidence and carries a visible source-review task. Selection does not silently turn a candidate into a reviewed classification.

Six-digit HS classification is not always sufficient for shipment or policy decisions. The workspace therefore keeps confirmation of the applicable eight-digit Indian line as a separate readiness task.

2. Market ranking

For a user-selected HS candidate, we rank destination markets by India’s reported export value in a common calendar year. Noise-level rows below the platform threshold are removed, and the shortlist is capped so the decision stays usable.

The product presents this as an initial observed-trade screen, not an opportunity score or forecast. Trade attractiveness, market access, landed economics, manufacturer fit, and buyer evidence remain separate layers; an unknown blocking access requirement prevents a “Ready to test” state.

3. Direction of travel

Where a comparable historical record exists, Induvaya calculates compound annual export growth across a three-year interval. If history is unavailable, we say so rather than presenting missing data as growth.

4. Price realization

For detailed product records with usable shipment weight, price realization is calculated as declared export value divided by net weight. The displayed average is weighted by shipment value and weight; floor and ceiling markers reduce the influence of extreme records where enough observations exist.

5. What the analysis cannot tell you

Reported trade is historical evidence. It does not prove current buyer demand, margin, market access, product compliance, logistics viability, payment risk, or your ability to win against incumbents. Published values may also be revised.

Use the shortlist to decide where to investigate first. Confirm classification, current requirements, landed economics, and real buyer interest before committing inventory.
