Fixed-scope research support for MDS, MS and MCh candidates

What is delivered

• A written scope naming the deliverables and the price, agreed before work starts
• The measurement, simulation or analysis the study needs
• Figures and methods text
• A one-hour handover covering the method and the questions most likely to be asked on it, with the method statement supplied in writing

Method and reporting

• The research question is settled first, then the measurement that answers it, then the statistics. Working in the other order is the usual reason a thesis stalls
• Deliverables are fixed in writing, so scope does not drift into the submission window

What you provide

• Your research question and submission date
• Your guide's expectations and the institution's thesis requirements
• The imaging available, or access to the department that holds it

How this is kept honest

• Defensible by the Candidate

  The method is written down and walked through, so the candidate can defend it in a viva. Work that cannot be defended is no use there.

• Scoped to the Date

  The scope is set against the submission date. Where the date cannot support the question, that is said before the work is taken on.

• Department Arrangements

  Where several studies run together, one standing arrangement covers protocol design and data handling.

Frequently Asked

Is this ghost-writing?

No. Osteo3d performs the imaging, measurement, simulation and analysis work, and supplies methods text for those parts. The thesis is written by the candidate.

What does it cost?

Every engagement is quoted against its scope. Send a brief and a written scope with a price is returned.
