Six checkpoints stand between a market question and a Resourcera report. Sources are cited, models are documented, every figure is checked twice — and the workbook ships with the PDF.

THE PIPELINE

From question to published report.

6 CHECKPOINTS · ~3 WEEKS TYPICAL

Define the question

Every report starts with a market question worth a desk's time — sized, scoped and pre-approved by the editorial board.

OUTPUT — BRIEF, SCOPE MEMO · 1-2 DAYS

Source the data

Primary surveys, public filings, audited datasets and vendor disclosures. Every input gets a permanent source ID.

OUTPUT — SOURCE LEDGER · 5-10 DAYS

Validate & cross-check

Each figure is reconciled against at least one independent source. Conflicts trigger a desk note, not a quiet pick.

OUTPUT — VARIANCE LOG · 3-5 DAYS

Model the forecast

Bottom-up segment builds validated against top-down macro indicators. Assumptions are documented in the appendix, not hidden in cells.

OUTPUT — FORECAST WORKBOOK · 4-7 DAYS

Editorial review

Two analysts review every report. Headline statistics require a desk-head sign-off before they leave the building.

OUTPUT — REVIEW TRAIL · 2-3 DAYS

Publish & maintain

Reports carry an updated date and a revisions log. Material changes trigger a republish, not a silent edit.

OUTPUT — VERSIONED RELEASE · ONGOING

EDITORIAL STANDARDS

Four principles, non-negotiable.

/ 01 - 04

Independence

/01

No vendor sponsorships hidden inside reports. Paid placements are labeled or refused.

Traceability

/02

Sources cited inline, not buried in footnotes. Every chart carries a source line and timestamp.

Transparency

/03

Forecast assumptions disclosed in plain language. Raw CSV ships with paid reports.

Replicability

/04

Models reviewed by two analysts. Any reader with the workbook can rebuild the headline number.

”

“If a number can't be traced to a source and rebuilt from the workbook, it doesn't ship. That's the whole methodology, in one sentence.”
