Decision guide / For agencies and client research teams
Keep facts, implications and unknowns separate in a client brief.
A short research pack is more useful when a reader can trace each claim and see what would change the recommendation.
Work through the question.
- Select evidence that answers one precise client question.
- Add the source market and date; keep an original implication beside each supported fact.
- Include the strongest counterquestion and a dated appendix, then save the editable evidence brief.
Start with checked examples.
