The question
What are you ultimately trying to establish, understand or make a decision about?
Tell us what you are trying to establish, the evidence you are working with and where you need independent scientific support.
You do not need to arrive with a fully defined research brief. A short outline of the issue, decision or evidence question is enough to start the conversation.
We can then establish what support is appropriate, what information is needed and how the work should be structured.
Independent scientific research, evidence analysis, research review and specialist consultancy.
We support organisations across the UK and internationally, with projects delivered remotely and in collaboration with client teams where required.
You do not need a finished specification. These four things are usually enough for us to understand the nature of the enquiry.
What are you ultimately trying to establish, understand or make a decision about?
What research, data, literature or technical information already exists?
Who needs to use, understand or rely on the findings once the work is complete?
Is there a specific decision, submission, consultation or commercial deadline involved?
Once we understand the question, we can determine whether Verigen is the right fit and what a sensible research process would look like.
Send us the question, context and any useful background information you already have.
We identify the scope, evidence requirements, likely methodology and intended outcome.
We set out the proposed work, deliverables, timescale and commercial terms before anything begins.
Once agreed, the research is delivered against the defined methodology, scope and objectives.
If you are unsure exactly what kind of research support you need, that is completely fine. Tell us the problem you are trying to solve and we can establish the right next step.
hello@verigenresearch.co.ukInitial project discussions can be handled confidentially where the subject matter or commercial context requires it.
Research support is structured around the question and evidence requirement rather than forcing every enquiry into the same package.
You will know what is being delivered, how the project will be approached and what the work is intended to establish before commissioning begins.
