Extract

From KPMG press release: "The study surveyed over 48,000 people across 47 countries between November 2024 and January 2025."

Relevance to Hypotheses

Hypothesis	Relationship	Strength
H1	Contradicts	Claim says 48,340 but source says "over 48,000" — minor discrepancy
H2	Supports	"Over 48,000" is consistent with 48,340 being the precise figure
H3	Contradicts	Numbers are very close, not materially different

Context

Press releases typically round sample sizes. The precise figure of 48,340 may appear in the full report.
