  2. Develop contributions

    Priya shapes the scope. Elliot develops the delivery approach. Rowan identifies evidence gaps.

  2. Develop contributions

  3. Refine together

  4. Bring it together

    Daisy prepares a decision note with options, trade-offs and questions that still need an answer.

    Options and a proposed sequence, ready for your judgement. You decide whether to change the plan.

A research shortlist

    Daisy shapes the research question using your customer requirements and the sources you supply.

  2. Develop contributions
