03 / The reporting method
From loose thread to clear record.
Follow the strongest lead, test it against the record, then return to the people living with the outcome.
Listen first.
Source development begins with open questions, patient interviews and attention to what is not being said.
Check the trail.
Documents, data, timelines and competing accounts turn an interesting claim into something readers can trust.
Make it readable.
Strong structure, precise language and human detail make complex reporting useful without sanding off its nuance.
