Where the method came from

Norvelis began as a set of notes we kept for ourselves — habits that made research hold together across long, difficult inquiries. Over time, colleagues started asking to sit in, and it became clear the notes were worth teaching properly.

We work only with what is already published, filed, or otherwise lawfully available: reports, studies, prior coverage, official records. The discipline is in how carefully you read and record that material, not in finding shortcuts around it.

Every session is built around your own subject. We would rather spend an hour on your actual questions than an afternoon on a hypothetical case study.
