Monitoring an under-recognised economic sector with public-interest evidence.
Independent monthly reporting on advertised prices, market volume, mobility, persistence, service composition, and regional variation across the UK online adult-services market.
Editorial stance
Worker-aware, non-sensational, and built for public understanding rather than surveillance.
Methods visibility
Release notes, caveats, revision logic, and indicator definitions are part of the interface, not hidden footnotes.
Access model

Service positioning
Intimacy-service index
The index tracks listings advertising at least one of three companionate markers: GFE, French Kiss, and Dining. It is a market-positioning measure, not a proxy for emotional reality or worker experience.
Why this exists
Worker-aware public evidence
The Daylight Project is aligned with worker-centred public-interest principles: make the sector visible as labour, resist stigma, publish only aggregated data, and avoid turning monitoring into surveillance.
Aggregated monthly indicators only
No searchable individual records
Clear methods, limitations, and revision policy
