Research Methodology

PRE-LAUNCH PUBLICATION STANDARD · EVIDENCE BEFORE AIRTIME

Research is part of the publication.

ARyaReady’s methodology is designed to make the preparation visible: what was checked, which sources carry the claim, what remains uncertain and how the published record can be corrected.

01 / SOURCES

Source hierarchy

Use the strongest available evidence first. Every published briefing should let a reader distinguish source, context and inference.

  1. Primary records. Official data, filings, policy documents, public records and original research material.
  2. Direct evidence. On-record interviews, direct observation and material supplied with clear provenance.
  3. Authoritative context. Reputable reporting, industry analysis and expert interpretation used with attribution.
  4. Inference. Reasoned interpretation labelled as inference, with uncertainty and material disagreement visible.

02 / WORKFLOW

From question to record.

  1. Question. Define the decision, change or tension the audience needs help understanding.
  2. Research. Build a source pack, timeline, stakeholder map and list of unresolved claims.
  3. Preparation. Verify the guest’s role and scope, prepare questions and disclose practical recording expectations.
  4. Conversation. Record with room for challenge, context and follow-up rather than a rehearsed promotional script.
  5. Publication. Fact-check names and figures, publish sources and transcript notes, then maintain a correction record.

Transcripts

Edit for readability without changing meaning. Verify names, figures and technical terms, and identify material edits.

Corrections

Correct material errors promptly and add a dated note describing the substantive change.

Disclosure control

Relevant interests and any sponsorship will be disclosed alongside the work. Editorial judgement and supporting evidence will remain identifiable.
