How the work is checked

What analyst review covers

Every delivered brief is reviewed by a designated analyst. The review covers source relevance, supporting evidence, assumptions, conflicting information and the interpretation presented. Where evidence is incomplete or conflicting, this is made visible rather than presented as a definitive finding.

You remain responsible for the business decision.

What counts as one recurring question?

One business question with one purpose, one output and one schedule. For example: "What did our three main competitors change in their pricing this week?"

A competitor is one named company. A source is one website, feed or document set we monitor. A data connection is a file, sheet or feed of your own that we read.

What happens when a source breaks?

The workflow flags it, we investigate and address it, and your brief shows the gap clearly. A gap is never hidden. Conflicting or incomplete evidence is disclosed in the same way.

Can I commission a one-off project?

Yes. Not every intelligence requirement is recurring. One-off strategic assessments, simulations and bespoke research can be scoped separately, without a monthly programme.

Can I stop the programme?

Yes. Programmes run month to month with no annual commitment. Cancel before your next billing date. The pilot fee is credited against your first month if you continue.
