Research, Intelligence, and Consulting
Three categories of work, distinct in form but sharing a common standard of analytical rigour.
Original research built from the ground up.
Original research conducted to an academic standard and published for clients, institutions, and the public. Research products are based on primary data collection and peer-reviewed analysis. Topics span governance, public finance, political economy, macroeconomics, social policy, and environmental systems.
Where funding allows, outputs are published as open-access documents.
“Research is what we produce when the question requires building knowledge from the ground up.”
Clients include
Governments, multilateral institutions, development finance organisations, and foundations.
Enquire about Research →Tracking complex environments on an ongoing basis.
Structured, continuously updated intelligence products covering the political, economic, regulatory, and social conditions relevant to a specific geography or sector. Intelligence products draw on ongoing monitoring, event analysis, data aggregation, and analyst judgment.
Subscribers receive quarterly outlooks, event-driven alerts, annual risk ratings, and archive access.
“Intelligence is what we produce when clients need to track a complex environment on an ongoing basis.”
Clients include
Senior decision-makers with limited time and high-stakes mandates.
Enquire about Country & Sector Intelligence →Analytical work scoped around your specific question.
Bespoke analytical engagements for clients with a specific decision to make or problem to diagnose. Consulting assignments apply the same methodological standards as our research but are scoped around the client's particular question.
Engagements include: political risk assessment, policy design, geopolitical scenario planning, market and regulatory analysis, and programme evaluation.
“Consulting is what we produce when the question is too specific, too sensitive, or too urgent for a published product.”
Clients include
Organisations facing a specific decision requiring rigorous, defensible analysis.
Enquire about Consulting →Not sure which service fits?
The first step is a scoping conversation to determine whether the question is within our capacity and whether our approach is the right fit.
