Dossiers
A dossier turns a vague topic into a build-ready package — question, background, data sources, methods landscape, starter pack, success criteria, take-up pathway, supervisor. Full dossiers ship on v0.1. Previews are live now.
What is a dossier?
Every dossier is built to the same anatomy. A funder can read the question and the budget ask in 90 seconds. A student can read the methods landscape and the starter pack in an afternoon and start the work the same week.
The Question
A single sentence a programme manager would take into a meeting.
Background
Why this question matters now, in this country, on this timeline.
Data sources

Methods landscape
The plausible methods, with the trade-offs and the right-sized choice.
Starter pack
Code, data extracts, notebooks — enough to get the student to week 4.
Success criteria
What a finished thesis or output actually has to show.
How to take it up
BSc, MSc or PhD framing; supervisor channels; stipend mechanics.
Supervision + adviser
Named local supervisor; named pro-bono methods adviser.
