◆ Pillar 3 of 6 · Weight 10%
Polyphenol & bioactive trend
Direction of change in published UK-relevant nutrient-density studies over a rolling five-year window. Pure literature meta-analysis from Pulse Brain. Pillar weight: 10%. The most innovative pillar from a Vitagri-uniqueness standpoint — directly leverages the Pulse Brain catalogue.
Phase 0 placeholder narrative: rolling 60-month window shows a modest upward trend in UK-applicable bioactive studies.
Methodology
The Pulse Brain catalogue is filtered to UK-applicable studies on polyphenols, antioxidants, omega-3 and other bioactives published in the last five years. A weighted-direction score is computed using study tier (T1–T4) and effect size. Recompute is monthly on the rolling 60-month window; published monthly. Velocity uses the standard 12-month rolling computation.
