Why you'll need research...
Whether you need a presentation deck for commercial collaboration, market research for sustainable policies or perhaps an infographic to bring clarity to a complex situation...
Bring clarity and build a solid case
Commitment
Some say there are two things: reasons and results. Since you're looking for the latter, the first won't count: no cure, no pay.
Character
I've made a commitment to strive for excellence, but as man often proves a poor witness to himself I welcome you to judge that.
Clarity
I'm with you all the way: we may start at positioning, through development and consider public interaction just as well.
How research may work
Three phases of research with three steps each. I've made sure each step comes with examples of best practice and quotes to kickstart the best of your reasoning.

What others said...
“Anton effectively (re)considered a huge stack of scholarly and think-tank papers and criticized and reinterpreted the insights, conclusions and statements made. The originality of the (re)interpretation of known ‘facts and figures’ is huge and daring.”
