  • Research judgments

    Structured, checkable judgments on the business relationship between the two countries, kept on record.

  • Intelligence infrastructure

    AI and software that collect, link and deliver the information continuously.

From evidence to judgment

  1. 01

    Collect public information

    Gazettes, regulatory filings, trade press and public data, always with the source.

  2. 02

    Link and check

    Records of the same fact on both sides are matched and their verification status is shown.

  3. 03

    Form a judgment

    Facts and research judgment are shown apart; a judgment states its basis and its uncertainty.

  4. 04

    Deliver and correct

    Conclusions come with their basis; errors are corrected and the correction is recorded.

Research team

The research team handles verification, market research, data interpretation and sector judgments. Legal, tax and financial opinions come from qualified professional institutions.
