The scenario that resembles science but fails to meet the criteria for science would be a water pollution study paid for by an industrial waste company.
One of the criteria for scientific research is objectivity. Scientific research must be objective and free from any form of bias.
There is a saying that he who pays the piper dictates the tune. An industrial waste company financing a water pollution research would definitely not want a report that will indict the company from a business point of view. They will either try to influence the research or report only the findings that will not indict them.
Hence, a water pollution study being paid for by an industrial waste company sounds like anything but science.
