Research & decision support in Doha
Research and decision support is a service the council coordinates with specialists, for organisations that need ordered information on a market, a sector or an opportunity before they decide. It covers the research questions and the scope of the study, information on markets, sectors and suppliers, the findings with their sources and their limits, and feasibility studies coordinated with specialists where they are needed.

Common questions
Do you carry out the research yourselves?
Partly. The council frames the research questions and the scope, gathers the information and organises it, and brings in specialists where the work calls for that; feasibility studies in particular are coordinated with specialists. Whatever comes back is presented with its sources and with the limits of what it covers.
Will you tell us what to decide?
No. What you receive is organised information around the question behind the decision, with the sources and the limitations of that information set out alongside the findings. Knowing where the information stops is part of the output, not a footnote to it.
What do you need from us to scope a study?
The decision or question you want supported, the market or sector it sits in, and the scope you have in mind. We also need whatever information you already hold and the date you want the findings in hand. Scope is agreed before collection begins, which is what keeps a study from drifting away from its own question.
We have not committed to the opportunity yet. Is it too early for a study?
No, this is the stage the service was built for. It is meant for organisations that want organised information about a market, a sector or an opportunity before they decide, so the work starts from the open question rather than from an answer already assumed. Market, sector and supplier information is gathered around that question.
