Independent research & consulting

Research
& consulting.

Reel GDP is an independent research and consulting practice supporting businesses, industry bodies and research organisations across sectors. We bring together evidence, economic analysis and clear communication to address your question.

01Ways to work together

Start with the question.

Every project is scoped around the question, the available evidence and a realistic deliverable.

01 / RESEARCH

Research &
evidence briefs

For organisations that need to understand what existing research says about a particular question. We review relevant studies, compare their findings and explain what the evidence can support.

You receive a research brief or literature review, with the key findings, their limitations and a clear list of sources.

02 / SECTORS & TRADE

Sector &
trade research

Desk-based research into sectors, overseas markets and the conditions affecting cross-border activity. The evidence is organised around the decision or research question.

You receive a report on the sector or market, explaining the trends, trading conditions and questions relevant to your project.

03 / COMMUNICATION

Economics
made clearer

Economic concepts and research translated into accessible learning materials, explainers, introductory talks and workshops.

You receive a presentation, learning material or written explanation tailored to your audience, so they can understand and use the research.

Each project is agreed around a defined question, an appropriate method and a clear deliverable. Where additional expertise is needed, we can collaborate with external specialists. The proposal sets out the evidence base, scope, team, timing and fee before work begins.

02A straightforward process

Clear from the start.

1. Define the question.

What decision or research problem needs support? Who will use the result?

2. Agree the scope.

Set the sources, deliverable, timing and fee before work begins. No open-ended commitment.

3. Make the evidence useful.

Receive a structured output with sources, assumptions and limitations made clear.
