Understand cannabis data. Act with confidence.
Canndata helps regulators understand their data, why the patterns may be occurring, and proposes practical steps forward.
Contaminant results changed after the cultivator switched labs
Total yeast and mold results for one cultivator's flower, by testing laboratory and test date. Each point is one tested batch. Lab 1 is shown as navy circles; Lab 2 as teal squares. A dashed red line marks the 100,000 CFU/g action limit. Lab 1 failure rate: 41.01%. Lab 2 failure rate: 0.00%. The reported distribution changed sharply after the laboratory switch.

| Laboratory | Failure rate | Action limit (CFU/g) |
|---|---|---|
| Lab 1 | 41.01% | 100,000 |
| Lab 2 (after switch) | 0.00% | 100,000 |
Cannabis regulators need a clearer read of the data.
Most legal cannabis markets already know there are problems worth addressing. The challenge is understanding what those problems are, why they are occurring, and which responses are most likely to be effective.
States collect extensive testing and market data. Those records can reveal patterns that are difficult to see from individual results, complaints, inspections, or market anecdotes alone.
Canndata helps regulators read those patterns in context and determine practical next steps.
What a regulator receives
Executive summary
A concise summary of the major findings, interpretation, and recommended next steps.
Full report
A complete written report with charts, analysis, findings, context, and recommendations.
Code used to produce the analysis
The code used for the analysis, so the work can be reviewed, reproduced, and extended as needed.
Canndata helps regulators move from concern to response.
A Canndata report is designed to help regulators understand what the data shows, what the data does not establish, and what response is proportionate. The goal is not to accuse. The goal is to make market patterns visible, interpret them carefully, and support practical oversight decisions.
Identify patterns that warrant attention.
Understand likely causes.
Review findings in the context of state rules and prior oversight.
Evaluate market dynamics and policy effects.
Recommend practical next steps.
Track whether patterns persist, improve, or shift in later reports.
Use the cannabis data your state already collects.
