Evidence Analysis
The source data is analysed independently — without reference to the draft report — to generate findings relevant to the project’s Terms of Reference. Each finding is assessed for confidence based on data coverage and source strength.
Independent analysis of interview transcripts finds yield increases reported by 4 of 12 sampled farmers. The remaining 8 reported no change or didn’t comment on yield specifically. This becomes the evidence baseline the draft report is checked against — before anyone looks at what the report itself claims.
