Analytical Framework

Intelligence Methodology

Reality Consulting & Research applies a structured six-phase intelligence methodology designed to deliver verified, decision-ready intelligence aligned with international professional standards.

01

Scope Definition

Precision Before Collection

Every intelligence engagement begins with a structured scope definition process. Working closely with the client, Reality Consulting & Research establishes clear intelligence requirements, defines the boundaries of the enquiry, identifies key information gaps, and agrees on deliverable formats and timelines before any collection activity begins.

Phase Elements
  • Intelligence requirement definition
  • Key information gap identification
  • Source strategy planning
  • Deliverable format agreement
  • Timeline and milestone setting
  • Confidentiality protocol establishment
02

Primary Intelligence Collection

Field-Level Verification

Primary intelligence collection is conducted through direct field enquiries, stakeholder interviews, and local source engagement. This phase leverages Reality Consulting & Research's 18+ years of established local networks and on-the-ground presence to access information that remote research cannot reach.

Phase Elements
  • Direct stakeholder interviews
  • Field enquiry and observation
  • Local network intelligence
  • Primary document collection
  • Source credibility assessment
  • Field verification protocols
03

Secondary Research & Analysis

Structured Information Synthesis

Secondary research complements primary collection through structured analysis of available documentation, regulatory records, media sources, and publicly accessible information. All secondary sources are evaluated for reliability, recency, and relevance before integration into the analytical framework.

Phase Elements
  • Regulatory and corporate record analysis
  • Media and open-source intelligence
  • Historical context research
  • Comparative market analysis
  • Document authentication
  • Source reliability evaluation
04

Multi-Source Verification

Eliminating Single-Source Risk

All intelligence findings are independently cross-verified across multiple sources before inclusion in analytical outputs. This verification process is designed to eliminate single-source risk, identify conflicting information, and ensure that conclusions are grounded in corroborated evidence rather than unverified claims.

Phase Elements
  • Cross-source verification protocols
  • Conflicting information resolution
  • Confidence level assessment
  • Source independence validation
  • Finding corroboration standards
  • Quality assurance review
05

Independent Analytical Review

Objective Intelligence Assessment

Verified findings are subjected to independent analytical review before reporting. This review process applies structured analytical frameworks to assess the significance, reliability, and implications of intelligence findings — ensuring that reports reflect objective analysis rather than unexamined data.

Phase Elements
  • Structured analytical frameworks
  • Significance and reliability assessment
  • Implication analysis
  • Risk and opportunity identification
  • Analytical bias review
  • Senior analyst oversight
06

Confidential Reporting & Delivery

Structured Intelligence Outputs

Intelligence is delivered in structured report formats designed to support client decision-making. All deliverables are transmitted through secure, encrypted channels under NDA. Reports are formatted to integrate with international project frameworks and comply with client reporting requirements.

Phase Elements
  • Structured analytical report formats
  • Executive summary and key findings
  • Encrypted delivery protocols
  • NDA-protected transmission
  • Follow-up briefing availability
  • Ongoing monitoring options
