Data Centres
Provide the research and evidence that project teams and reviewers use to make decisions.
How it works
Set the research question
Identify which decision the evidence must support and define the territory, time period, units and comparison group.
Collect and classify evidence
Record sources, permissions and dates. Mark field observations, estimates and assumptions so they can be checked independently.
Validate the baseline
Check coverage, missing data, bias and inconsistent definitions. Record confidence and document any adjustments before comparing results.
Publish and maintain
Share an approved evidence brief, assign a data owner and review date, and update the project record when new findings affect a decision.
What the center delivers
Research brief, source register, baseline measures, validation notes and access rules.
Illustrative project application
For an energy opportunity, assemble demand, site and grid evidence and identify what must be verified before commissioning detailed feasibility work.
