Before work begins
The accepted quotation records currency, payment schedule, approved expenses, taxes and cancellation terms.
A managed path from question to evidence.
Kenya Research Desk remains your accountable partner while specialists conduct the work behind a written scope and one quality standard.
Start with a briefProject process
Five controlled stages.
The founder manages quotations, specialist assignment, quality approval, client delivery and researcher payout during the launch phase.
- 1
Send the research request
Share the decision, main question, context, geography, deadline, budget and preferred output.
- 2
Review and quotation
We assess feasibility, evidence access, expertise, safeguards and timing before defining the full scope and price.
- 3
Specialist assignment
A vetted, conflict-free researcher accepts the exact deliverable, deadline, fee and confidentiality requirements.
- 4
Research and quality review
The draft stays internal until it meets the agreed scope, evidence, logic, privacy and presentation standard.
- 5
Final payment and delivery
After the final balance is confirmed, the approved report and supporting files are released securely.
A useful brief
Tell us what the research must help you decide.
A strong request describes the intended decision, one main question, geography, preferred output, deadline, budget and any people or sensitive data involved. For surveys and interviews, also include the target respondent, expected sample and collection method.
Quality review
Nothing is delivered only because it looks finished.
The review tests whether the work answers the accepted questions and whether claims, calculations, limitations, privacy controls and approvals can withstand scrutiny.
- 01Scope and method
Every accepted question is answered with a suitable and disclosed method.
- 02Sources and analysis
Material claims are traceable and conclusions follow from the evidence.
- 03Uncertainty and calculations
Estimates, assumptions, units, totals and limitations are made visible.
- 04Originality and privacy
Work is checked for improper copying and unnecessary personal information.
- 05Presentation and approvals
The final report is usable and any required consent, licence or sign-off is recorded.
Payments and delivery
Milestones protect both the client and researcher.
Before final release
The approved report remains locked until the final balance has been verified.
After acceptance
One consolidated in-scope revision is normally included, followed by researcher payout and project closure.
Protected relationships
The desk remains the contracting and communication centre.
Clients contract with Kenya Research Desk, and experts accept assignment-specific terms covering confidentiality, conflicts, intellectual property and responsible data handling.
Client introductions are controlled. Direct contact is arranged only when the assignment requires it, with the desk included in substantive scope, commercial and delivery communication.
Reasonable non-circumvention and non-solicitation provisions protect introduced relationships without preventing experts from pursuing unrelated work.
Common questions
Before the first project.
Can you work with clients outside Kenya?
Yes. The service is designed for Kenyan and international clients, with project terms and payment currency agreed before work begins.
Can you conduct interviews or fieldwork?
Yes, when participants, consent, privacy, locations, travel, approvals and costs are clear.
Who owns the final work?
Intellectual property and publication rights are defined in the project terms and normally transfer according to the agreement after full payment.
Do you write student assignments or dissertations?
No. We do not complete work submitted for academic credit. We support legitimate professional and institutional research.
