The short answer.
The Nexus Agency topics are the eight subject dossiers of its field, among them technical assistance scope, expert competence and team formation. Each dossier sets out how the risk develops, what is measured and in which units, the public sources and their licences, the methods, who decides and the limits of the evidence.

GCRI is a research, development and policy institution. It is not a regulator, and it does not certify, license or approve; its findings carry their methods and uncertainty.
How the technical assistance topics connect.
The Agency topics serve officials requesting assistance and experts offering it. They follow an assignment from scope and competence through team formation, support and field work to independence and closeout. A reader looks for how each stage protects the institution's authority and leaves capacity behind.
The topics follow an assignment: scope, competence, team formation, support, field work, independence, roles and closeout.
