  "population": "Adults 18 or older who have chosen or helped choose a restaurant breakfast or brunch in the United States in the last three months.",
  "sampling": "Optional future opt-in recruitment through clearly described publisher channels. It will be a convenience sample, not representative of U.S. diners.",

Suppress cells below ten responses; avoid subgroup comparisons below thirty. These are disclosure rules, not guarantees of representativeness.",
