Services

What we deliver

Rapid evidence reviews

Structured searches of academic, grey and official literature, transparent screening, and concise briefings that answer your questions.

Evidence synthesis & data analysis

Extraction matrices, appraisal of evidence strength, gap analysis and stated limitations. Public and client datasets cleaned, analysed and visualised, with figures checked.

Reports & plain-English content

Reports, briefings, summaries and policy-ready outputs written in plain English, to your template and accessibility standards.

Horizon scanning

Regular scans of new evidence, policy and developments in your area, summarised so you can act on what matters.

Tender-related digital support. We can monitor relevant opportunities, organise supporting evidence and prepare draft material for your team. Drafts are for your review; nothing is submitted without approval.
Method

How we work

  1. A defined framework

    AI tools work inside a research framework designed and run by the director.

  2. Every citation checked

    Every citation is opened and checked against its source. Nothing is cited that has not been read.

  3. Verified and signed off

    The director verifies and signs off every deliverable before it reaches you.

  4. AI use disclosed

    We disclose our use of AI in line with Procurement Policy Note PPN 02/24.
