Start with a clear question.
Each project begins with a defined question, relevant sources, and a clear account of what remains unknown.

04 / Approach
From defining a question to documenting the findings.
The process
Each project begins with a defined question, relevant sources, and a clear account of what remains unknown.
The team checks definitions, samples, and collection methods before combining data. Differences in how information was gathered may limit which comparisons are useful.
Researchers test models on data they were not trained on and compare alternative explanations. They examine where performance changes across samples or conditions, alongside the overall result.
Sources, assumptions, and model versions are recorded so colleagues can retrace the analysis. Published findings, computational results, and questions awaiting validation are kept distinct.
Specialist review
Financial and scientific specialists review the results in context. The team revisits conclusions as new evidence becomes available.
