Morphology

clear-eyed + analysis

The noun phrase is transparently compositional: 'clear-eyed' (capable of accurate judgment) directly modifies 'analysis' (systematic examination), yielding an objective, unbiased evaluation. This adjective+noun pattern is straightforward and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows the constituent words should be able to infer the meaning.

Etymology

Clear-eyed analysis comes from the image of someone with clear-eyed vision looking carefully at the facts, because an analysis is a careful look. So, it means an honest, 'objective' study that 'sees things clearly' and avoids wishful thinking.
