Source plan
The public, licensed and client-supplied sources we will use. Every external fact keeps its original source, date and scope.

Evidence

Sourced data is kept visibly separate from SPI estimates and interpretation, and every assumption is listed.

A second member of the SPI team checks numbers and sources before delivery. Corrections are logged.
- 06
Deliver
A report or deck, a data annex and a read-out call, with one round of clarifications included.
05Limitations
- Public and licensed sources only. We do not seek non-public or improperly obtained competitor information.
- Estimates are not guarantees; scenario results depend on the assumptions stated with them.
- We do not invent contacts, purchase volumes, supplier relationships or packaging specifications. Gaps are reported as gaps.
- Coverage is limited to the sources named in the source plan.
We do not give legal advice or legal representation, carry out certified or laboratory testing, issue certifications or audit opinions, or file with regulators on your behalf. Where you need one of these, we say so in the proposal and can point you to a qualified provider.
