Country conditions research
A country conditions packet is only as good as its sourcing and its specificity. We research to the actual claim — the region, the group, the risk asserted — and return an indexed packet of current reporting with the relevant passages excerpted and cited.
- Published price
- $200–600 / packet
- Turnaround
- 48 hours
- Without us
- $1,000–3,000
Fixed per unit, not hourly. No minimum engagement. Quoted before we start.
What you receive
A sourced country-conditions packet addressing the specific claim, with citations to current reporting.
- A research memo addressing the specific conditions relevant to the claim
- An indexed packet of source documents, each tabbed and dated
- Relevant passages excerpted and page-cited, so the decision-maker is not handed 400 unmarked pages
- Coverage of recognised sources: State Department reporting, UN bodies, recognised NGOs and credible media
- A currency note recording the date of each source and flagging where reporting is stale
- A gap note where reporting on the specific region or group is thin, stated plainly
What it costs, and what it replaces
Both figures are published ranges for the same unit of work. Ours is fixed before we start; if our process gets faster, that is our gain and your price does not move.

How the work runs
01
Scope the question
We narrow from country to the actual question: which region, which group, which risk, over which period. Generic country packets are the ones that get discounted.
02
Source collection
We collect from recognised sources, preferring the most recent authoritative reporting and noting where an older source is still the leading one on a specific issue.
03
Excerpt and cite
The passages that matter are excerpted with page citations and organised by proposition, so each point in the claim has its supporting material behind it.
04
Currency and gaps
Each source is dated, staleness is flagged, and where the reporting simply does not cover the specific region or group, we say so rather than padding with tangential material.
What we need from you
- The country, region and the specific risk or group at issue
- The claim type and the elements the packet needs to support
- The hearing or filing deadline
- Any prior packet used in the matter, so it can be updated rather than duplicated
What we check before delivery
- Every excerpt is verified against the original source document and page
- Source dates are checked and recorded, with stale reporting flagged rather than presented as current
- Sources are assessed for recognition and reliability before inclusion
- Where reporting conflicts, both accounts are included rather than the more favourable one alone
When firms send us this
- Asylum and withholding claims needing a hearing-ready packet
- Cases where the risk is region-specific and generic reporting will not carry it
- Updating a packet prepared months ago for a rescheduled hearing
- Supporting a response to a request that questioned country conditions evidence
Questions about country conditions research
Do you assess whether the claim will succeed?
No. We produce sourced material on conditions; the assessment and the argument belong to the engaging attorney.
What if reporting on the specific area is thin?
We say so explicitly. A packet padded with tangential material is worse than one that states honestly where the record is limited and what the closest available reporting covers.
Can you update an existing packet?
Yes, and it is cheaper than a fresh one. We refresh for new reporting since the last version and flag what has materially changed.
