From question to reviewed brief
You define the job once. A configured workflow runs it on your schedule, and a designated analyst reviews every delivered brief.
To see these stages run, try it out. It follows a workflow through six steps: set up, collect, analyse, synthesise, decide and write, act.
Define the job
Write down the question, the scope and the output you want.
Set the evidence and rules
Every finding should have a traceable source or be clearly identified as customer-provided information or an assumption. The workflow applies the agreed checks, records gaps and distinguishes what is known from what remains uncertain.
Agreed checks
Configure and test
We configure the workflow on your sources and test it against available historical data where suitable. Your designated analyst checks the first run before anything reaches you.
- Workflow configured on your sourcesRules, checks and output format agreed
- Tested against available historical dataWhere suitable, compared with what actually happened
- First run checked by your analystBefore anything reaches you
- Ready to run on your schedule
Historical testing shows how a workflow handled known periods. It is not a forecast, and it does not guarantee future accuracy.
Run
The workflow runs on your agreed schedule, gathering, dating and checking evidence the same way every time.
Review the result
A designated analyst reviews every delivered brief for source relevance, evidence, assumptions, conflicting information and interpretation. You make the decision.
- Source relevance checked
- Evidence traceable to a source
- Assumptions labelled
- Conflicting information flagged, not smoothed over1 conflict flagged in this brief
- Interpretation reviewed and signed off
