OUR CORE SERVICES
Analytical Scoping & Test Planning
Define the analytical question, identify relevant tests and develop a technically justified testing plan.
SERVICE OVERVIEW
Start with the Right Analytical Question
Effective analytical work begins with a clear understanding of the problem that needs to be investigated. Selecting tests without first defining the analytical question can lead to inappropriate testing, unnecessary costs or results that do not adequately address the client's needs.
AfroVeritas provides analytical scoping and test planning support to help organisations translate scientific, product and material-related concerns into clearly defined analytical requirements.
Our role is to help identify relevant tests, consider appropriate analytical approaches and develop a technically justified plan before testing proceeds.
