Data methodology

Neobi continuously observes publicly available cannabis retail menus and market information. Store, product and pricing coverage reflects locations observed in the Neobi data network and may not represent every provincially licensed retailer.

Assortment metrics count listed SKUs: a SKU is a distinct GTIN — the barcode-level product variant retailers list, so pack sizes count separately — and "listed" means currently on a store's menu, including items temporarily out of stock. Delisted history is excluded.

The figures on this page come from the same dataset that powers Neobi's Open Data, Cannabis API and MCP interfaces, so every count shown here can also be retrieved programmatically. Menu-derived data shifts daily as retailers update their listings; check the last-updated timestamp before comparing markets or citing numbers.
