Atlas / Services / Comparative Brief
Risk analysis, think tanksComparative Brief
Two to five organisations, positioned against each other.
Where the question is not what one organisation is but how several relate — a governing coalition, a party family, a set of movements sharing a label. Each is coded in full and then positioned against the others and against the wider corpus.
Most engagements at this level are invoiced against a purchase order rather than paid by card. Send a brief and an invoice with 30-day terms follows the same day.
What is covered
- Two to five organisations, each coded on all six axes with evidence
- A distance matrix showing how far apart each pair sits
- Axis-by-axis analysis of what actually separates them and what does not
- Where a shared label is doing more work than the measurement supports, this is stated
- Positioning against the existing corpus of reference cases
What you receive
- Approximately 6,000 words, PDF and web format
- Distance matrix and per-pair breakdown
- Comparative six-axis chart
- Full source list per organisation
Who it suits
Anyone assessing a coalition, a party system, or a set of movements that press coverage treats as interchangeable.
Why this is checkable
Every score in a commissioned brief is produced with the same published codebook, the same anchor definitions and the same evidence standard as the free public atlas. You can read the method before you commission anything, test the codebook yourself against a cell you have never seen, and read the audit in which the instrument reports the tests that weaken it.
