MEED Data vs AI

How we build our Premium Intelligence Reports (PIRs)

At MEED, our Premium Intelligence Reports are created with one goal in mind: to give you reliable, expert-backed insights you can actually use. In a world where automated tools and AI churn out generic content by the minute, our PIRs stand out because they combine exclusive, hard-to-find data with real human analysis.

Below, we break down exactly how each report is built, so you can understand the value behind our intelligence and why so many businesses trust it for strategic decisions.

Where our data comes from

Great reports start with great data. Our analysts pull information from sources you won’t find on public search engines, including:

Industry experts and direct research: Interviews, surveys and first-hand insights from people who work in the sector every day.
Verified sources: Company filings, government documents, trusted publications and vetted market databases.
Global monitoring: We track developments from across the region and beyond to give you a full, connected picture.

Everything is checked, cross-checked and validated. This is what keeps our intelligence accurate, exclusive and ahead of the curve.

Human analysis at the core

We use technology to support our work, but the insight comes from people. Our analysts:

Spot trends and nuances that automated tools might miss.
Add context, explaining why the data matters.
Provide forward-looking views on risks, opportunities and what could happen next.

This means our reports don’t just give you numbers. They tell you what those numbers mean for your strategy.

A clear, structured reporting style

We design our PIRs so they are easy to read and even easier to apply to real decisions. Each report includes:

A clear executive summary for quick takeaways.
Detailed market breakdowns with trends and key drivers.
Competitive insights that show who is doing what in the market.
Historical data and forecasts to help you plan ahead.

The structure helps you absorb complex information quickly without feeling overwhelmed.

A careful, multi-step review process

Accuracy is non-negotiable for us. Every report goes through several checks before it reaches you:

Data validation to confirm accuracy and relevance.
Analytical review to ensure findings match industry realities.
Editorial checks to refine clarity and readability.
Final approval from senior analysts and industry specialists.

This process ensures each PIR meets the highest professional standards.

What makes our PIRs different

In a market full of automated, copy-paste reports, our PIRs stand out because:

We use proprietary data you won’t find elsewhere.
Data is manually audited by MEED’s research team.
Reports are built to support real strategic decision-making.
We focus on clarity, relevance and usability from start to finish.

The result? Intelligence you can trust, backed by both data and experience.

Always improving

Our methodology evolves constantly. We update our approach by:

Listening to feedback from clients and industry leaders.
Adjusting to new market trends and emerging sectors.
Using advanced tools where they add value, while keeping human oversight at the heart of our work.

This ensures every PIR stays current, insightful and genuinely useful.
