Risk analysis, corporate affairsWatch Retainer
A named list, re-coded every quarter.
Organisations move. A party that sat at one coordinate three years ago may not now, and the movement is usually the finding. This tracks up to ten named organisations and reports what changed, on what evidence, and what it implies.
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
- Up to ten named organisations, agreed at the outset and adjustable once per year
- Full re-coding each quarter against current evidence
- A change note on every movement of two points or more, with the evidence for it
- An annual trajectory summary across the whole watch list
What you receive
- Quarterly PDF, approximately 2,500 words
- Coordinate table with the previous quarter shown alongside
- Machine-readable JSON of the watch list on request
Who it suits
Teams that need to know when a political actor has moved, rather than commissioning a fresh analysis each time the question arises.
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.
