Research methodology

A transparent process for collecting, evaluating and delivering Japanese-source intelligence.

Define the business question, target entities, geography, date range and deliverables.

Prioritize official, primary and authoritative sources, supplemented where necessary.

Cross-check names, dates, figures, source context and duplicate records.

Apply categories, confidence labels, priority scores and structured metadata.

Separate verified facts from inference, hypotheses and recommendations.

Review scope, disclaimers, formatting, links and client-facing clarity.
