Aiyke R.

I research complex questions, verify what is actually true, and turn scattered information into clear, decision-ready work. I'm a researcher, analyst, and editor with 3+ years of experience working across business research, academic research, competitive intelligence, benchmarking, fact-checking, proposals, reports, and long-form editorial projects. My strongest work sits where research meets judgment: finding the right information is only the beginning. I evaluate sources, identify what matters, compare competing evidence, and organise findings so another person can understand the landscape and decide what to do next. 🚀 What I can help with 1️⃣ Research & Intelligence • Market and industry research • Competitive and company research • Benchmarking and landscape analysis • Opportunity and funding research • Business and strategic research • Desk research and source discovery • Literature and evidence reviews 2️⃣ Research + Editorial • Fact-checking and source validation • Manuscript and long-form editing • Research-heavy reports and white papers • Evidence checking and citation review • Clarity, consistency, and substantive editing • Turning interviews, transcripts, and source material into structured content 3️⃣ Analysis & Synthesis • Comparing frameworks and methodologies • Identifying patterns across large amounts of information • Building research trackers and source libraries • Qualitative and quantitative research support • Turning research findings into concise summaries and recommendations 🚀How I work I don't optimise for volume. I optimise for useful information. For a research project, that means defining the question first, finding credible and relevant sources, recording evidence systematically, checking claims rather than assuming them, and separating strong signals from noise. For editorial work, it means protecting the author's voice while improving clarity, consistency, factual accuracy, structure, and evidence. I'm comfortable working independently on ambiguous research questions, large documents, tight deadlines, and projects where the client needs someone who can figure out the research process rather than simply follow a checklist. 🚀 Selected experience • Conducted multi-stage research and benchmarking projects covering business capability mapping, enterprise architecture, methodology comparison, and implementation approaches. • Built curated research libraries from primary and secondary sources, evaluating relevance and credibility rather than optimising for volume. • Conducted systematic literature research and evidence synthesis across academic and professional databases. • Researched grants, funding opportunities, companies, industries, and business opportunities and organised findings into decision-useful trackers. • Edited and fact-checked research-heavy documents, theses, reports, proposals, and long-form material. • Produced business proposals and research documents used by clients and organisations to support commercial decisions and applications. I use tools including Google Workspace, Microsoft Office, Excel, Zotero, Mendeley, and research databases, and I'm comfortable learning new research and AI tools when a project requires them. If you have a difficult research question, a large document that needs a careful second pair of eyes, or a body of information that needs to become something useful, I'm happy to help.
