Good decisions require evidence that a team can rely on and get behind.

We specialise in qualitative research with customers, staff and communities, that is validated through qualitative and desk research.

Our approach is to conduct the right research at the right time, making use of AI and internal teams to develop a hypothesis state based on existing information.

This is followed by research with users. A sample of target customers are chosen to validate the hypothesis and allow for deeper analysis of the specific issues.

The methods depend on the questions and the customer groups: interviews, focus groups, diary studies, contextual enquiries, moderated and unmoderated testing.

Current state performance is benchmarked where possible during research so future changes have a starting point to measure against.

We are trained in conducting research with vulnerable cohorts.

  • Test the findings back with the people who took part and with your teams before anything is finalised

What we deliver

  • Needs-based segments or personas, grounded in what people said and did.

    • Customer and staff journeys showing where value is created
