Marketing - Internet, e-Commerce / perceived risk on online behaviour
Region (target): English (United Kingdom)
French term or phrase: l'éclairage
The sentence is "L'éclairage apporté par les recherches issues de la littérature permet de formuler un ensemble d'hypothèses sur le nombre de réducteurs et le type de réducteurs à proposer sur un site commercial".

I was thinking of something along the line of "enlightenment".

Does anybody else have any better ideas ?

Thank you.
