Honestly - ex academic here - I've come across a couple of research topics that I'd really like to publish in, and I have zero interest in pissing through a peer review process.
I am thinking of throwing something into the glossy professional journal, and maybe doing a whitepaper or two on the corporate website. That way, people will link and refer to it if it is good, and they won't if it is not - and it will disappear or be referenced accordingly.
I intend to include the data and code, so everything can be verified independently.
That the rest of the publishing world is simultaneously going down that same path seems to me an inevitability.
You might also think about putting it on the arXiv (arxiv.org). I think they take articles that haven't been submitted to journals, and it is a bit of a recognized source of articles (there are citation guidelines for arxiv articles for example).
