SAMPLE DELIVERABLES
Harborfield produces customized written research and decision-support documentation. The exact deliverable depends on the product and the question being examined, but the underlying discipline remains consistent: define the question, document the evidence, separate observations from assumptions, show calculations where they are relevant, make limitations visible, and keep conclusions within what the available information can support.
Research architecture
IllustrativeReport architecture
Sample pages demonstrate structure only and contain no customer findings.
Visible layers
OrganizedThe material on this page is designed to demonstrate report structure and research discipline.
It does not describe a real Harborfield customer. It contains no real customer information. Provider labels, source fields, market observations, pricing examples, statuses, calculations, and conclusions shown in the sample are illustrative only and must not be interpreted as current market findings.
A real Harborfield report uses actual source-linked evidence appropriate to the customer's defined question, with source provenance, retrieval information, reference period, geography, and limitations recorded where applicable.
Depending on the product, a Harborfield deliverable may help a customer:
The service, customer, geography, deliverable, and decision question are clarified before evidence is interpreted.
Source-linked observations
External facts and numeric claims are tied to identifiable sources in real reports.
Explicit assumptions
Customer assumptions and analytical assumptions are labeled rather than blended into factual findings.
Deterministic calculations where applicable
Scores, ratios, pricing-scenario calculations, capacity calculations, and other defined metrics are calculated through controlled rules rather than improvised in narrative.
Visible limitations
Missing, stale, contradictory, or non-comparable evidence is disclosed.
Bounded conclusions
A conclusion is limited to what the evidence can support. It is not expanded into a prediction of future customers, revenue, profitability, demand, financing, contracts, or business success.
Quality review
Deliverables pass applicable validation and completeness checks. Products priced at $950 and above also require written human QA before delivery.
A Harborfield report is not designed to “prove” that a business will succeed.
Market evidence cannot establish in advance how future customers will behave, what future competitors will do, or what financial results an individual professional will obtain.
That means showing what is supported, what is assumed, what remains uncertain, and what evidence would materially improve the next decision.
All observations below are examples of report structure. They are not current findings.
Before market information is collected, Harborfield defines what is actually being examined.
This label is intentionally narrower than “businesses” and broader than a specific regulated profession.
United States
This illustrative report treats the service as remotely deliverable and uses a national U.S. research frame.
Evidence becomes meaningful only in relation to a defined question.
A provider offering full presentation strategy, original content development, financial-model creation, and live executive coaching would not automatically be comparable to a provider offering visual redesign of customer-supplied slides.
Likewise, a public price for an hourly design retainer cannot automatically be compared with a fixed-price deck package.
The purpose of the scope definition is therefore not cosmetic. It establishes the boundaries for deciding which evidence is relevant and which observations are too different to support a direct comparison.
The panel below demonstrates how a real report may summarize the state of evidence across five domains.
These are sample status labels only. They are not real findings.
| Evidence domain | Status and meaning |
|---|---|
| Customer segment | Status — Usable evidence — Meaning — Example structure shows how identifiable public customer-context evidence could be recorded |
| Demand proxies | Status — Limited evidence — Meaning — Example proxy information may provide context but would not establish purchases |
| Comparable providers | Status — Usable evidence — Meaning — Example provider observations can demonstrate visible service packaging |
| Public pricing | Status — Insufficient evidence — Meaning — Illustrative observations are not sufficiently comparable for a market-range calculation |
| Geography / context | Status — Contradictory evidence — Meaning — Example sources illustrate how differently defined market measures could require caution |
A real report may use labels such as sufficient, limited, or unavailable where the applicable methodology requires them. The important point is that Harborfield does not convert weak evidence into a positive conclusion merely to complete a report.
| Observation | Evidence type | Relevance | Limitation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Example public materials show a defined presentation-redesign service format | Public provider observation | Helps demonstrate how a comparable service may be packaged | Illustrative only; does not establish market prevalence or performance |
| Example customer-context source contains a broader professional-services category | Public contextual data | Could provide background for the intended customer segment | Broader category may not precisely represent the intended buyer |
| Example provider pages use different project-scope definitions | Comparable-provider observation | Relevant to service-scope comparison | Differences in scope may prevent direct pricing comparison |
| Example public pricing formats include fixed, starting, and hourly structures | Public pricing observation | Helps classify how prices are presented | Different pricing structures are not automatically comparable |
| Example proxy source relates to presentation-related activity | Demand-proxy context | May provide indirect context | A proxy does not establish actual purchase demand for the defined service |
The Observation column records what was actually observed.
The Evidence type explains the nature of the source.
The Relevance column explains why the observation may matter to the research question.
The Limitation column prevents the observation from being interpreted more broadly than the evidence permits.
A real report would connect material observations to actual validated sources.
| Source type | Source location | Retrieval date | Reference period | Geography | Purpose | Limitation |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Official public dataset — illustrative example | Actual URL/reference would appear in a real report | Actual retrieval date | Applicable year/period | United States | Customer/context evidence | Example category may be broader than intended buyer |
| Public provider service page — illustrative example | Actual public page URL would appear | Actual retrieval date | Current page at retrieval | U.S./remote as applicable | Service/package observation | Public page does not reveal sales volume or business performance |
| Public pricing page — illustrative example | Actual public page URL would appear | Actual retrieval date | Current page at retrieval | As stated by provider | Pricing observation | Scope may differ from other providers |
| Public directory — illustrative example | Actual directory reference would appear | Actual retrieval date | Current listing set | Defined geography | Provider-sample context | Directory is not necessarily exhaustive |
| Public contextual source — illustrative example | Actual source reference would appear | Actual retrieval date | Applicable period | United States | Demand-proxy or market context | Proxy may not directly measure purchases |
A real Harborfield source register contains the actual source identifier or URL and the retrieval information required to preserve provenance.
Where relevant, the source record also identifies:
An external statistic without sufficient provenance is not treated as a validated final statistic.
Direct purchases of a narrowly defined solo service are often not visible in public datasets.
A demand proxy is an observable measure that may provide context related to the research question without directly measuring purchases of the service itself.
OBSERVATION
ILLUSTRATIVE ONLY: A public source contains an activity measure that may be relevant to organizations or professionals that produce presentation materials.
INTERPRETATION
The observation may provide contextual evidence that the underlying activity occurs within the defined customer environment.
LIMITATION
It does not establish:
A proxy can support context.
It cannot be silently transformed into a statement such as “there is strong demand.”
When direct evidence is unavailable, the report narrows the conclusion instead of substituting certainty.
ILLUSTRATIVE PROVIDERS ONLY — PROVIDER A, B, AND C DO NOT REPRESENT REAL FINDINGS
| Field | Information |
|---|---|
| Fields | Customer emphasis — Deliverable — Scope model — Pricing visible? — Specialization — Comparability — Main limitation |
| Provider A | Customer emphasis — Independent professionals — Deliverable — Defined redesign project — Scope — Project — Pricing visible — Yes — structure only shown here — Specialization — Presentation redesign — Comparability — Stronger — Main limitation — Included scope may differ from illustrative service |
| Provider B | Customer emphasis — Broad business audience — Deliverable — Hourly design assistance — Scope — Hourly — Pricing visible — No — Specialization — General graphic design — Comparability — Partial — Main limitation — Broader service mix reduces direct comparability |
| Provider C | Customer emphasis — Presentation-intensive service businesses — Deliverable — Fixed-scope deck package — Scope — Project — Pricing visible — Yes — structure only shown here — Specialization — Presentation-focused — Comparability — Stronger — Main limitation — Customer segment may differ |
Provider research can help identify observable differences in:
It does not establish provider revenue, profitability, customer volume, utilization, or business success.
A Harborfield public-provider sample is treated as a research sample unless the underlying source itself supports completeness.
Search results, provider directories, and public websites cannot ordinarily establish that every provider in a market has been identified.
Public price observations can appear precise while measuring materially different services.
For that reason, Harborfield first tests comparability.
| Example | Pricing observation |
|---|---|
| Example A | Price format — Fixed project price — Deliverable size — Defined deck size — Revision allowance — Defined — Turnaround structure — Standard — Provider type — Solo provider — Comparability — Potentially comparable |
| Example B | Price format — Hourly price — Deliverable size — Variable — Revision allowance — Not clearly stated — Turnaround structure — Variable — Provider type — Solo provider — Comparability — Limited |
| Example C | Price format — Starting price — Deliverable size — Scope varies — Revision allowance — Not clearly stated — Turnaround structure — Varies — Provider type — Small studio — Comparability — Limited |
No real price amounts are shown.
A price summary can become misleading when observations differ materially in:
For the $300 Market Evidence Report, a deterministic public pricing summary is calculated only when at least five reasonably comparable public price observations qualify.
If that threshold is not met, the report may show individual public observations with limitations, but it does not present them as a reliable market range.
Public pricing observations are visible in this sample structure, but the observations are not sufficiently comparable to support a summarized market-price range. The appropriate treatment is to preserve the individual observations and their scope differences rather than calculate a more precise statistic than the evidence warrants.
The $300 Market Evidence Report uses an Evidence Coverage Score to measure the amount of usable evidence across five domains.
Each domain can contribute up to 20 points.
| Evidence domain | Possible score |
|---|---|
| Customer / segment evidence | 0 / 10 / 20 |
| Demand-proxy evidence | 0 / 10 / 20 |
| Comparable-provider / public-supply evidence | 0 / 10 / 20 |
| Pricing evidence | 0 / 10 / 20 |
| Geography / context evidence | 0 / 10 / 20 |
0 points: No qualifying evidence.
10 points: One qualifying source or observation, or materially incomplete evidence.
20 points: At least two independent qualifying sources or observations with adequate provenance and usable comparability.
This example is shown only to demonstrate format.
Customer segment: 20
Demand proxies: 10
Comparable providers: 20
Pricing: 10
Geography/context: 10
Illustrative Evidence Coverage Score: 70 / 100
The Evidence Coverage Score measures evidence coverage.
It does NOT measure:
A market could contain substantial contradictory evidence and still receive a high evidence-coverage score because a large amount of usable evidence exists.
Coverage and attractiveness are different concepts.
| EVIDENCE | ASSUMPTION | UNCERTAINTY |
|---|---|---|
| ILLUSTRATIVE: Observable public provider packaging exists for presentation-related services | The intended customer may prefer a defined fixed-scope package | Public pages do not reveal future purchasing behavior |
| ILLUSTRATIVE: Different public providers use different service-scope models | A narrower service definition may make comparison easier | It is unknown which scope structure future customers will prefer |
| ILLUSTRATIVE: Public pricing formats can be observed | A customer's tentative price can be compared with sufficiently comparable observations if they exist | Public prices do not establish what any individual customer will pay |
| ILLUSTRATIVE: Broader public customer-context data may exist | The broader data category may be directionally relevant to the intended customer | The public category may not precisely represent the actual buyer |
| ILLUSTRATIVE: A proxy may describe related activity | Related activity may help contextualize the research question | The proxy does not reveal actual purchase volume for the service |
A report becomes less trustworthy when an assumption is written as though it were evidence.
Not established by that evidence: Customers prefer fixed packages.
The second statement requires additional support or must remain an assumption.
Harborfield makes that distinction visible so the customer can see where interpretation begins.
Weak, conflicting, or unavailable evidence is part of the report.
It is not removed to make the conclusion look cleaner.
Some sample observations use fixed project pricing while others use hourly or starting-price structures.
Treatment: Do not calculate a summarized range unless the comparability threshold is met.
A public dataset may measure a broad professional-services category rather than the exact independent-professional segment defined in the report.
Treatment: Use the source for context only and state that the category is broader than the target definition.
Public searches may identify several relevant providers.
Treatment: Describe them as an observed sample rather than a complete provider count.
One source might provide supportive context while another suggests the chosen measure is less specific than expected.
Treatment: Retain the contradiction and narrow the interpretation.
Harborfield does not fill missing evidence with speculation.
That narrower statement is often more useful because it identifies the actual evidence boundary.
A Harborfield conclusion is designed to help structure the customer's decision without pretending the report can predict the result of that decision.
The next useful decision is therefore not whether the service is a “good market opportunity.” The more supportable question is whether the customer wants to refine the service definition and obtain a stronger comparable-provider and pricing evidence set before making a pricing or positioning decision.
It does not say:
The conclusion remains inside the evidence.
A real Market Evidence Report includes an assumptions and limitations section.
Visible provider pages represent an observed sample, not every provider serving the market.
Public prices may not be structurally comparable.
Differences in scope, deliverable size, revision policy, provider type, and pricing format can prevent reliable statistical summarization.
Demand proxies do not establish purchases.
A proxy can provide context related to the market question without measuring actual future demand for the service.
Future customer response is unknown.
Public research cannot establish how future buyers will respond to a particular offer.
Public datasets may use broader categories.
A source may be credible but still define the customer group more broadly than the research question.
Customer-provided assumptions affect interpretation.
Service scope, price assumptions, delivery assumptions, and other customer inputs can materially influence later analysis.
Evidence can change.
Public provider pages, pricing, directories, and datasets may change after retrieval.
A Market Evidence Report is designed to give the customer a more structured basis for their own next decision.
The customer may use the report to:
The report does not make the customer's business decision for them.
It makes the evidence, assumptions, and limitations behind that decision easier to inspect.
Purpose: Define the concept before deeper market research.
This product examines whether a proposed permitted solo digital-service concept is sufficiently defined for useful next-step research and whether it fits Harborfield's current service scope.
It is not a substantive market study.
| Definition dimension | Status and illustrative note |
|---|---|
| Service | Status — Defined — Illustrative note — Presentation redesign |
| Customer | Status — Partial — Illustrative note — “Independent professionals” requires clearer boundary |
| Deliverable | Status — Defined — Illustrative note — Redesigned customer-supplied deck |
| Geography | Status — Defined — Illustrative note — United States |
| Delivery model | Status — Defined — Illustrative note — Remote, project-based |
| Decision question | Status — Partial — Illustrative note — “Is this a good idea?” needs to be converted into a researchable question |
The actual personalized nine-page Concept & Early Evidence Brief uses a deterministic Definition Readiness score based on these six definition dimensions and may include up to one Census context observation and one bounded visible-search signal where usable public evidence is available.
The score measures definition completeness only.
It does not measure legality, demand, profitability, business quality, customer suitability, or probability of success.
The concept is sufficiently defined to identify the service and deliverable, but the customer definition and primary decision question remain materially incomplete. Deeper market research may become more useful after those two areas are narrowed. This conclusion concerns definition quality and Harborfield-scope fit only; it does not establish market demand, business viability, profitability, or legal/regulatory compliance.
“Safety & Fit” refers to:
It does NOT mean:
Purpose: Examine source-linked external market evidence.
The detailed primary sample above demonstrates the structure of this product.
A Market Evidence Report may include:
The service, intended customer, U.S. geography, delivery model, and research question are bounded before interpretation begins.
Material observations are recorded with their relevance and limitations.
Indirect market-context signals are clearly labeled as proxies rather than direct proof of purchases.
Public providers are used as non-exhaustive research observations.
Public prices are compared only when the underlying service structures are sufficiently comparable.
Five evidence domains are evaluated for coverage:
Weak evidence is retained rather than removed.
The report distinguishes what is supported from what remains assumed or uncertain.
Real reports record source location or identifier, retrieval information, reference period, geography, purpose, and limitations where applicable.
What this product does not add: three positioning alternatives, three pricing/capacity scenarios, website documentation, operational SOPs, or a three-market expansion comparison.
Purpose: Compare positioning alternatives and illustrative pricing/capacity scenarios for an experienced professional in the same permitted activity.
This product is not designed to identify a guaranteed “best niche” or “optimal price.”
It makes trade-offs visible.
| Comparison field | Option A | Option B | Option C |
|---|---|---|---|
| Customer | Broad independent professionals | Independent consultants | Presentation-intensive solo professionals |
| Deliverable | General presentation redesign | Client-facing deck redesign | Webinar presentation redesign |
| Public comparables | Moderate sample | Stronger sample | Smaller sample |
| Pricing comparability | Limited | More usable | Limited |
| Experience fit | Strong | Strong | Partial |
| Main assumption | Broad customer definition remains understandable | Customer specialization improves clarity | Use-case specialization is sufficiently common |
| Main trade-off | Broader reach, weaker differentiation | Narrower customer definition, stronger comparability | Clear use case, smaller evidence set |
These options are comparative structures, not predictions of which position will produce more customers.
The actual product can use either:
The following is a structure demonstration only.
| Scenario field | A | B | C |
|---|---|---|---|
| Scenario price assumption | Customer-provided Value A | Customer-provided Value B | Customer-provided Value C |
| Estimated delivery hours per unit | 8 hours | 8 hours | 8 hours |
| Illustrative available delivery hours | 64 hours | 64 hours | 64 hours |
| Theoretical service capacity | 8 units | 8 units | 8 units |
| Public-reference position | Below / within / above sample context, if valid | Below / within / above sample context, if valid | Below / within / above sample context, if valid |
| Workload implication | Same delivery workload per unit | Same delivery workload per unit | Same delivery workload per unit |
| Key assumption | Delivery-time estimate remains valid | Delivery-time estimate remains valid | Delivery-time estimate remains valid |
HYPOTHETICAL PLANNING INPUTS ONLY
The calculation answers a planning question about theoretical service capacity under stated assumptions.
It does NOT predict:
A Harborfield pricing section may conclude that one scenario has a different workload or public-reference position from another.
It does not conclude that a particular price will produce a particular business outcome.
Purpose: Convert an experienced solo professional's defined service and operating information into concrete website and internal documentation.
This deliverable looks materially different from a market-research report.
It produces a structured documentation stack.
ILLUSTRATIVE PAGE SET
The actual product supports website information architecture for up to five core pages, with a page-purpose/content brief and draft in-scope copy for each included page.
The exact pages depend on the customer's defined service and factual inputs.
Inquiry ↓ Intake ↓ Ready for Work ↓ Production ↓ QA ↓ Delivery ↓ Correction, if applicable ↓ Corrected Delivery / Complete
The actual pack contains four defined workflows:
PURPOSE
Confirm that the defined service deliverable is internally consistent and ready for written delivery.
TRIGGER
The production stage is complete and the final working version is ready for review.
REQUIRED INPUTS
STEPS
DECISION POINT
If a material input is missing or contradictory, do not treat the project as ready for delivery.
COMPLETION
All required pre-delivery checks are complete and no unresolved material issue remains.
EXCEPTION
If completion depends on missing information that cannot be safely inferred, document the limitation and follow the defined written exception process.
The approved product includes:
It does not include live website implementation, legal policies, regulated compliance procedures, coaching, calls, training, or ongoing consulting.
Purpose: Apply a standardized research protocol to exactly three U.S. geographic markets.
The same permitted service and core customer definition are held constant across all three markets so that the comparison remains interpretable.
MARKET A, MARKET B, AND MARKET C ARE PLACEHOLDERS. NO REAL MARKET FINDINGS ARE PRESENTED.
| Evidence area | Market A | Market B | Market C |
|---|---|---|---|
| Customer context | Illustrative evidence status | Illustrative evidence status | Illustrative evidence status |
| Demand proxies | Limited | Sufficient | Limited |
| Provider observations | Usable sample | Usable sample | Non-comparable sample |
| Pricing evidence | Limited | Sufficient | Unavailable |
| Operating fit | Illustrative strengths and constraints | Illustrative strengths and constraints | Illustrative strengths and constraints |
| Evidence quality | Mixed | Stronger | Mixed |
| Major limitation | Customer category broader than target | Provider sample non-exhaustive | Pricing evidence unavailable |
All statuses above are demonstration labels only.
A real study uses:
The study does not create:
The sample comparison shows how Market B could have a stronger evidence base for the defined pricing question, while Market A could have more limited but still usable customer-context evidence. Market C could remain difficult to compare because an important evidence domain is unavailable. Under those conditions, the report could identify material differences in evidence quality without concluding that one market will produce superior business results.
A reasonable next decision might be to examine whether the evidence gap in Market C is important enough to prevent further comparison or whether the customer's operating priorities justify keeping all three markets under consideration.
“Feasibility” means a structured comparison of selected public market evidence and non-regulated operating considerations.
It does NOT mean:
Purpose: Integrate multiple decision-support layers for an experienced solo professional around one primary U.S. market.
This is the broadest integrated Harborfield deliverable, but it is not an automatic cumulative bundle of every lower-priced specialist product.
In particular, it does not automatically include the deep exactly-three-market methodology of the $2,000 Three-Market Expansion Feasibility Study.

EVIDENCE — illustrative
Public provider observations show several different approaches to packaging the defined service.
ASSUMPTION — illustrative
The customer believes a more tightly defined package will fit the desired operating model.
LIMITATION
Public provider pages do not establish which packaging approach will result in more purchases.
DECISION CONSIDERATION
Compare the three defined positioning options against prior experience, service-scope clarity, available evidence, and operating constraints.
| Dimension | Option A | Option B | Option C |
|---|---|---|---|
| Customer definition | Broader | More specialized | Use-case specialized |
| Scope clarity | Moderate | Strong | Strong |
| Comparable evidence | Stronger | Moderate | Limited |

The purpose is to reveal trade-offs, not declare a guaranteed winning position.
Days 1–30 — Resolve definition gaps
Days 31–60 — Align documentation
Days 61–90 — Prepare the operating document set
This sequence does not predict or guarantee business results. It organizes implementation dependencies within the dossier itself.
Deep, standardized comparison of exactly three U.S. markets.
$2,500 — Complete Solo Practice Research Dossier
Broad, integrated decision-support package centered on one primary U.S. market.
The dossier combines primary-market research, positioning, pricing/capacity, website documentation, operational documentation, and written implementation sequencing.
It does not silently become a three-market expansion study.
The six Harborfield products answer different questions, but several standards remain consistent.
The question is bounded before the work is interpreted.
Service, customer, deliverable, geography, and other material definitions are made explicit where applicable.
External observations used as factual support are connected to identifiable sources in real research deliverables.
Customer inputs, analytical assumptions, source-supported observations, and unresolved uncertainty are not treated as interchangeable.
Where a product uses a score, ratio, pricing scenario, capacity calculation, comparison formula, or completeness measure, the calculation follows the approved deterministic method.
Evidence does not have to agree.
Material contradictions are shown and interpreted rather than removed.
Missing sources, broad data categories, non-comparable observations, weak samples, stale evidence, and other limitations affect the strength of the conclusion.
Harborfield does not convert a research observation into a promise about future customers, revenue, profit, demand, contracts, financing, or business success.
Deliverables pass applicable checks for scope, evidence, numbers, prohibited claims, internal consistency, and completeness.
Products priced at $950 or more require written human QA before delivery.
Harborfield provides research and decision-support documentation.
The purpose is to make the structure of a decision clearer—not to guarantee its outcome.
A Harborfield report is designed to make uncertainty more visible, not to hide it behind confident language.
Missing evidence is not replaced with invented numbers.
Fake citations
A source is not created merely to make a statement appear researched.
Guaranteed demand
Market context and demand proxies are not converted into promises of future purchases.
Earnings promises
Illustrative pricing and capacity scenarios are not earnings forecasts.
Unsupported “best market” claims
A market comparison must remain tied to defined criteria and actual comparable evidence.
Unsupported “optimal price” claims
Public prices and planning scenarios do not establish a price that will produce a particular outcome.
Hidden uncertainty
Important limitations and evidence gaps remain visible.
Provider samples presented as exhaustive
Public provider research is treated as a sample unless the underlying source supports completeness.
Assumptions disguised as facts
If an interpretation depends on an assumption, the assumption should be visible.
The objective is not to make every report sound decisive.
It is to make each conclusion defensible within the information available.
