Services

Research Services

Independent research across USDA inspection histories, citation numbers, Animal Care materials, and OIG audits and investigations—delivered as source-supported evidence packets. The work is informational. It is not legal advice.

01

USDA Regulatory Research

Research involving USDA agencies, rules, guidance, administrative materials, reports, and regulatory history. Engagements are scoped to a defined question so the documentary record can be assembled and examined with discipline.

02

USDA APHIS / Animal Care Research

Research involving inspection practices, Animal Welfare Act-related administrative materials, agency guidance, enforcement history, and related documentation for livestock, exhibitors, and similar operations. Berean locates and analyzes the record; it does not provide legal interpretation of the Animal Welfare Act.

03

Inspection Research

Study inspection histories, citation numbers, recurring findings, documented agency practices, and available historical records to understand how inspection activity appears across time, place, species, or facility type.

04

OIG & Enforcement Research

Analyze publicly available USDA OIG audits, investigations, enforcement actions, and related reports. The work describes what the published record shows and where it is incomplete.

05

Statistical Analysis

Quantitative methods are used only when they fit the data. Potential methods may include descriptive statistics, trend analysis, frequency analysis, cross-tabulation, regression analysis, comparative analysis, geographic analysis, time-series analysis, and visualization.

06

Evidence Packets

Assemble a reviewable packet from the preserved record: cited sources, relevant excerpts, inspection or OIG references, observed patterns, and stated limitations. The packet is research support, not legal advice.

07

Custom Research

Create custom engagements for unusual or complex research questions that do not fit a single service category, including historical reconstruction, comparative agency review, and multi-source analytical projects.
