How we work
A documented Standard Operating Procedure — from brief to delivery
Every OASIS engagement follows a documented, nine-stage Standard Operating Procedure that governs how research is conducted, how documents are reviewed internally, and how work is approved before it reaches you.
- 01
Enquiry
Every enquiry is logged and acknowledged within two working days.
- 02
Scoping
Objectives, deliverables, timeline and constraints are documented in a written Scope Note.
- 03
Proposal
A written proposal within three working days — scope, methodology, timeline and fee.
- 04
Agreement
A Master Confidentiality and Project Agreement is executed before any work begins.
- 05
Research & Drafting
Carried out by a named analyst under the OASIS Dual Verification Standard — significant claims verified across independent sources.
- 06
Two-Round Internal Review
An independent accuracy review, then an editorial quality review, before anything is delivered.
- 07
Delivery
Delivered on the agreed date with a delivery note confirming internal clearance.
- 08
Revisions & Payment
One included revision round; final files released on payment (standard 14 days).
- 09
Closure & Archive
All project materials archived securely under our records retention policy.
Turnaround
Standard turnaround is three to five working days for a research, chronology or summary packet, with rush handling available on written confirmation. Larger review projects run to a schedule agreed before work starts.
Review and sign-off
Work is delivered for your review. You retain full professional control: you edit, adopt and sign, and nothing we prepare is filed, sent or represented as our own. Where a deliverable relies on a judgement that belongs to counsel — merits, demand figures, privilege calls, eligibility opinions — we escalate it to you rather than decide it.
OASIS is a research and drafting provider, not a law firm. We do not give legal advice, do not represent clients and do not enter into attorney–client relationships. All work product is reviewed and adopted by admitted counsel, who retain full professional control of the matter.
Where we work
We are based in Chandigarh, India and work to your business hours. Our primary markets are the United States, the United Kingdom, India, Iceland, Germany and the African continent, including South Africa.
Common questions
- How long before we hear back on an enquiry?
- Every enquiry is logged and acknowledged within two working days, and a written proposal follows within three working days of scoping.
- What happens before work begins?
- A Scope Note records objectives, deliverables, timeline and constraints, and a Master Confidentiality and Project Agreement is executed. No drafting starts before both are in place.
- How many revisions are included?
- One revision round is included in every engagement. Final files are released on payment, on standard 14-day terms.
