Methodology

Our principles

• Verified, never raw. No deliverable leaves Luna Solis without an analyst reading, cross-checking and interpreting it.
• Multi-source by default. We combine public statistics, trade-flow indicators, certification registries, company footprints and our own industry experience. No single source is trusted blindly.
• Honest about limits. Coverage and data availability may vary by product, country, period and reporting jurisdiction — and we say so when it affects a conclusion.
• Sources named. When public figures appear in our work, the source is cited: UN Comtrade, Viet Nam Customs, NOAA, EUMOFA, FAO and similar public references.

The process

1. Scope

We restate your question, agree the scope and set expectations for what can and cannot be verified.

2. Collect

We gather evidence across multiple independent sources, in the languages that matter for the question.

3. Verify

An analyst cross-checks findings, discards weak signals and weighs what remains against industry experience.

4. Deliver

You receive a written answer — a concise Intelligence Snapshot or a detailed assessment — with sources and confidence levels made explicit.

What we do not do

We do not resell raw data. We do not publish company-level records on our website. We do not make claims we cannot support. Where a question needs a lawyer, a surveyor or an inspection agency, we say so and help you find the right professional.
