I write detailed, factual reports that make an argument.
Reports
The sector produces plenty of reports, but relatively few make a clear argument. Consultancies have clients to please; think tanks don’t always have decades inside the industry.
I only write reports I believe in.
I take commissions only when the argument is one I’d make anyway. That means you get a report with a genuine point of view — not something neutralised to please everyone.

Commission a report
If there is a question in your part of the sector that deserves the definitive treatment, we should talk. The deal is the same for every funder: a report I believe in, or no report.
