About SRG
Research becomes manageable when the process is clear.
Smart Research Guide helps researchers and organisations move from uncertainty to a well-designed study, credible analysis and meaningful communication.
Founded by Amankwaa Francis, SRG provides focused guidance rather than one-size-fits-all answers. We listen to the research problem, identify the real gap and help each client build the skills and decisions needed to move forward confidently.

Common questions
Before we begin.
Can SRG support only one part of my project?
Yes. Support can focus on a single need—such as a questionnaire, analysis plan or discussion chapter—or follow a project through several milestones.
Do you work with research outside health sciences?
Yes. SRG can assess projects across disciplines and will confirm whether the required subject and methodological expertise is available before work begins.
How is the cost determined?
Pricing depends on the project stage, complexity, deliverables and timeline. After an initial discussion, you receive a clear scope and quotation.
Can NGOs request training for a team?
Yes. Training can be tailored to programme teams, data collectors or research staff and delivered around practical organisational needs.
