Intelligence Library

Market briefs, country primers, and deal intelligence.

I write these for myself first. Then I share them. Every piece starts with a question I could not answer from a press release or a headline. Each brief takes 10–20 hours of source verification and cross-referencing before it becomes a post.

Methodology

How these briefs are built

01

Source Verification

Every data point is traced to its origin: government gazettes, IRENA databases, multilateral reports, or direct company disclosures. AI training data is never treated as a primary source.

02

Cross-Reference

Key statistics are verified across at least two independent sources. Where sources conflict, the discrepancy is noted and the most recent or authoritative source is cited.

03

Executive Distillation

The final brief is what I would send to a board: enough context to understand the landscape, enough precision to make a decision, and enough honesty to surface the risks.
