Process
How a commissioned report is assembled
Every engagement follows the same calibrated sequence. Variations exist in scope and timeline, but the stages—from brief to bound briefing—remain consistent so clients know what to expect.
01 · Intake & brief
You submit a project brief or schedule an intake call. We confirm the decision context, identify the appropriate report type, and list the data we need. You receive a fixed quote and production schedule within two business days.
02 · Data calibration
Your datasets arrive via secure transfer. We reconcile sources, flag gaps, and document every assumption in a preliminary ledger. If data requires extensive cleaning, we pause and quote a preparation phase before forecasting begins.
03 · Scenario modelling
Kim Yujin builds base, optimistic, and conservative scenarios. Charts are drafted with consistent axis numbering, source footnotes, and sensitivity annotations. No chart enters the report without a stated input trail.
04 · Draft review
A PDF preview arrives at the midpoint milestone. You review charts and narrative with your internal team. Up to three revision rounds are included—typically focused on assumption adjustments, additional scenarios, or narrative emphasis.
05 · Binding & briefing
The approved report is printed on archival stock, section-numbered, and bound. We schedule a 60–90 minute briefing—at our Jeonju office or via video—where the lead analyst walks through every chart and records follow-up questions.
06 · Archive & optional renewal
Final files are archived securely for two years. Clients needing ongoing recalibration may transition to the Quarterly Strategic Review without restarting from scratch.
What to prepare before intake
- A one-page memo stating the decision the report must support
- At least 24 months of relevant operational data (sales, costs, volumes)
- Names of known competitors or market references, if applicable
- Your board or committee meeting date, if a deadline drives the timeline
Incomplete preparation extends the schedule—we prefer to tell you upfront rather than deliver a report built on hidden guesses.
