Confidence: Forward-looking projection — Directional-Speculative for any single SMB.

Caveat: This is a real McKinsey figure (unlike the The "McKinsey: 83% of B2B customers value transparency over brand reputation" stat is not verifiable to any primary McKinsey publication B2B-transparency stat which is not traceable to McKinsey). Both bear the McKinsey label but only one is verifiable to a primary publication.

Why this matters for Candid: Useful editorial-discipline pairing — distinguishes McKinsey-real from McKinsey-laundered. See the calculators brief's The "McKinsey: 83% of B2B customers value transparency over brand reputation" stat is not verifiable to any primary McKinsey publication for the laundered case.
