### Primary Research
Primary sources account for 72% of the total evidence base, with the balance coming from secondary research. Fieldwork targeted high-temperature heat pump OEMs, refrigerant compressor manufacturers, mechanical vapor recompression system integrators, district heating engineering contractors, and industrial energy purchasing utilities.
The research team conducted structured interviews with 84 stakeholders, including Plant Engineering Managers, Directors of Energy and Utilities Procurement, Heat Pump System Design Leads, District Heating Asset Managers, and Head of Decarbonization roles.
Every interview was reconciled with company-level revenue filings, project quotations, and technical specification sheets to remove anecdotal bias.
