Methodology

How our analysis is verified

Every figure cited in an insight is traced to a named public source, dated, and checked against its original release before publication. Where a model is used, its inputs, assumptions, and sensitivity ranges are stated in full.

Charts are constructed from documented datasets and are presented as analytical illustrations, not forecasts. Conclusions are limited to what the evidence supports, and open questions are identified explicitly for board consideration.
