Method
Hybrid Analysis Methodology
All four lines of work rest on the same method. It is designed for conditions in which direct access is closed.
- 01
Open-source foundation
Systematic collection from regional and international reporting, official publications, legal gazettes and documented public record.
- 02
Native-language monitoring
Dari, Pashto, Persian and Urdu material is read in the original. Native-language political analysis is a requirement, not an enhancement.
- 03
Structured expert consultation
Consultation with regional professionals under agreed protocols. No consultation is recorded in a way that could identify a participant.
- 04
Triangulation and confidence rating
Findings are cross-checked across streams. Each is rated for confidence, and divergences between streams are reported rather than resolved silently.
- 05
Compliance review
Compliance Officer review against AWG, DSGVO, and EU sanctions standards, including a check that no source-identifying information is present.
Services
The four lines of work
The method is the same in each; what differs is the question put to it and the form of the deliverable.
Political risk analysis
Continuous and commissioned assessment of political and security developments across the Avesta Region, written for decisions rather than for the record.
02Governance and rule of law analysis
Evidence-based governance analysis covering institutional performance, administrative practice, and the operation of legal and judicial structures.
03Remote monitoring and verification
Remote monitoring for Afghanistan, Iran, and Pakistan, designed for institutions that must account for programme delivery without being able to observe it directly.
04Institutional advisory and expert access
Advisory support for political foundations, ministries and implementing agencies, including mediated access to Afghan experts in exile through the Talent Pool.
Discuss a commission
We are glad to set out how a specific question could be addressed within our compliance framework, and what a deliverable would look like. Initial conversations are without obligation.
