We prefer to work with studies and evaluations in a scientific manner that reacts flexibly to new findings. This means that our methods continuously adapt to the progress of knowledge. Instead of sticking rigidly to one approach, we select methods and case numbers in consultation with the client in a dynamic and problem-oriented manner in order to efficiently generate useful results and do justice to complexity.
