Methodology
How we collect, structure, and verify the data behind every report. The goal is clarity, not theatre.
Source families
Official government data
Bank of Thailand, Board of Investment, Thai Customs Department, Ministry of Industry, and related regulator releases.
Company filings
DBD business registrations, SET disclosures, and published annual reports for listed and major private firms.
Trade records
UN Comtrade, bilateral trade data, and customs manifests, cross-checked where mirror-country data is available.
Press coverage
Thai-language and English-language business press, trade publications, and official government announcements.
Analyst notes
Field observations, industry contact interviews, and conference notes. Used for context, not as primary evidence.
Process
Intake
Every report starts with a scoped market question, target source families, and an explicit evidence standard before drafting begins.
Source pack
Sources are collected into a traceable pack with provenance, access date, extraction method, and visible freshness/evidence grading.
Claims
Report claims are separated from raw source text so every commercial assertion can be traced back to specific evidence.
Data normalization
Key stats, benchmark rows, entities, charts, and source appendix outputs are normalized into reusable structured artifacts instead of one-off report copy.
Review
Analyst review adds context, confidence scoring, conflict notes, and limitation handling. Quantitative claims stay tied to specific sources.
Deliver
Buyer-facing outputs are generated from the canonical inputs: premium web report, normalized data pack, benchmark export, and source appendix.
Publish & refresh
Finished reports go live with a defined update cadence. Later revisions reuse the same canonical inputs instead of rebuilding the product by hand.
Quality control
- Automated ingestion and normalization
- Cross-source matching and conflict checks
- Analyst review and confidence scoring
- Visible limitations and freshness notes
- Deliverable generation from canonical data instead of ad hoc export files
Product outputs
Canonical report inputs now feed multiple product surfaces. The same normalized data layer can power the report itself, buyer exports, public statistics, and later internal reference datasets.
Limitations
Thailand is the geographic focus. Regional context is included where relevant, but coverage outside Thailand is not comprehensive.
Thai-language sources are usually richer than English coverage, so translation choices matter and are made visible when they matter.
Government series can lag by 6–12 months. Every figure keeps its vintage visible.
Revenue and production estimates for non-listed companies are clearly marked as estimates.
