Aegilo Report · One-off · Scoped before it starts

The answer to the question you're staking a decision on.

You bring a decision — a market, a counterparty, a location, a journey, a threat. We come back with a judgement you can act on and defend: triangulated across independent sources, argued against by our own red team, and traced line by line to the primary. Including the lines that didn't pass.

What's in the deliverable

Six things, every time.

THE JUDGEMENT What we assess to be true, in calibrated language — likely, unlikely — not a list of everything that could conceivably happen.
THE EVIDENCE Every conclusion traced to its primary source, with the originator named separately from the publication that carried it.
THE TRIANGULATION How many genuinely independent sources back each judgement — and where sources merely echo one another.
THE RED TEAM The case against our own conclusion, argued before you see it, and what survived it.
THE DECISION LOG The alternatives we considered and rejected, with the reason each was set aside.
THE HONEST GAPS What we could not confirm, stated plainly — including when that failure belongs on the cover verdict rather than in a footnote.

Three scopes

Sized to the decision, priced before we start.

FOCUSED READ

One question, answered.

A single decision with a defined boundary — a counterparty, a supplier, a district, one claim you need verified before you act on it.

  • A judgement with its evidence and confidence
  • Sources graded and traced
  • Turnaround in days, agreed up front
FULL REPORT

A decision with several moving parts.

A market entry, a relocation, a threat picture, a journey — several linked questions assessed together, red-teamed as a whole.

  • Multiple linked questions, one coherent read
  • Full decision log and rejected alternatives
  • A briefing conversation on delivery
PROGRAMME

A question that keeps returning.

A recurring read on the same subject — quarterly, or tied to a decision cycle — where what matters is the delta since last time.

  • A maintained baseline you can read change against
  • Scheduled reassessment on your cadence
  • Priority scoping on urgent additions

Price follows scope, and scope follows the question — so we quote after we understand it, never from a rate card that ignores what you actually asked. You get the number, the turnaround, and the deliverable in writing before any work begins.

Terms of engagement
SCOPED FIRSTA defined question, deliverable, turnaround, and price — agreed before any work begins. No open meter.
TRACEABLE OR IT DOESN'T SHIPIf a judgement can't be traced to a primary source, it's marked unconfirmed rather than dressed up.
FOUNDER-LEDYour question reaches the analyst directly. No account layer, no research pool.
Check the method before you ask

You don't have to take the sourcing on trust.

Everything above describes what arrives in the deliverable. The Brief has been doing the sourcing half of it in public every week since the start — same attribution, same refusal to state more than the evidence carries. seventeen editions are published and dated, each naming its sources and recording what changed since the last one. Read one before you write to us.

A Brief edition shows the method, not the deliverable — it is a weekly watch, not a client report. For a sample of the report itself, ask: we send one with the reply.

How your data is held

You're telling us the question you can't ask publicly. Nobody else gets to read it.

Most firms treat this as a legal appendix. For an intelligence firm it's part of the product: the question you asked us is itself confidential, before any answer exists.

SWISS STORAGE Your material sits in Switzerland. Stored with a Swiss provider under Swiss jurisdiction. US hyperscalers were excluded for storing client material on purpose.
KEYS HELD APART The people holding the data can't read it. Your material is encrypted under a key belonging to you alone, and that key lives in a different control domain from the storage.
ERASURE IS ONE ACT Deletion that actually reaches the backups. Erasure destroys your key, which renders every copy unreadable at once — archives included. Deleting rows can't promise that honestly.
