Methods follow the decision problem and available evidence rather than a predetermined answer.
We identify assumptions, limitations, risks, and competing explanations before recommending action.
Research is translated into findings, scenarios, recommendations, and implementation priorities.
Sources, data, assumptions, and analytical steps are documented for review and quality control.
