  • Clear distinction between evidence, uncertainty, interpretation and opinion
  • One reasonable revision round based on consolidated feedback
  • Target delivery within 5 business days after the brief and required inputs are agreed

Suitable topics: science and technology, clean energy, Indian knowledge traditions, sound and culture, or world affairs.

What is not included

  • Guaranteed findings, outcomes, search rankings or audience reach
  • Original laboratory research, interviews or paid databases unless separately agreed
