Research

Our research methodology underlies both our published reports and our commissioned services. It has been developed over a 6 year period and the methodology combined with our associated database and other specialised resources, enables us to assimilate and process large amounts of data very quickly.

Finding data however is a small part of the process. The clever bit is analysing the data and exercising professional judgement to determine how the information is likely to impact on the councils plans. We look at the Council's performance in a broad context to gain an understanding of its "corporate personality". This then helps us to judge how it is likely to operate.

All of this leads us to make the claim that we produce unusually Intelligent Intelligence.
