RESEARCH & EVIDENCE

Evidence before assumptions.

We translate your requirements into a structured research brief, compare candidates against it, and show what is verified, supported, unconfirmed or not established.

RESEARCH INPUTS

Technical requirements

Commercial constraints

Origin evidence scope

DELIVERABLE

Qualified shortlist

Evidence record

Limitations and unknowns

REQUIREMENTS FIRST

Research built around what must fit.

Not every supplier selling something similar is actually a match. Your non-negotiables decide who can qualify; preferences and context show which candidates deserve further consideration.

MUST

A candidate must clear these gates to qualify.

PREFERRED

Used to separate stronger fits from acceptable ones.

INFORMATIONAL

Captured for context without deciding qualification.

EVIDENCE DISCIPLINE

Evidence, not assumptions.

Every finding states what the reviewed source supports—and what it does not. A Canadian seller can establish a purchasing pathway; it does not, by itself, establish where a product was manufactured.

VERIFIED

Direct evidence at the stated scope.

SUPPORTED

Credible evidence with defined limits.

UNCONFIRMED

A plausible signal that remains unresolved.

NOT ESTABLISHED

The available record does not support a finding.

The report shows what is known, what supports a finding and what still requires confirmation.
