Strategic Research & Analysis
Get the research you need to make better decisions without six-figure consulting fees
Research as a Deliverable
Sometimes you don't need full implementation support. You need research, analysis, and clarity to make an informed decision.
We provide focused research engagements: market research, feasibility studies, competitive analysis, due diligence, scenario modeling. You get the analysis and recommendations. You execute with your own team.
This model keeps costs down and scope tight. Defined research questions, clear deliverables, and focused timelines. No scope creep into implementation unless you want it.

Why This Costs Less Than Traditional Consulting
Focused scope + remote delivery + no implementation overhead = lower costs
Traditional Consulting vs. Strategic Research
Traditional Consulting Firms:
- Large teams (partners, managers, junior analysts)
- On-site presence and travel costs
- Methodology-driven approaches with standard frameworks
- Scope creep into implementation and change management
- Six-figure engagements as minimum
Our Research Engagements:
- Direct access to experienced expertise (no layers)
- Remote delivery (no travel costs)
- Focused on your specific research questions
- Clear scope boundaries (research only, unless you want more)
- Fraction of traditional consulting costs
You get quality research at sustainable costs. Perfect for businesses that need strategic insights but don't have six-figure consulting budgets.
How It Works
- Define the Research Question — Start with a clear question or decision you're trying to inform. We help refine the scope and define what research will be most valuable.
- Agree on Deliverables & Timeline — Specific deliverables, timeline, and cost. Fixed scope, no surprises.
- Research & Analysis — We conduct the research, build models, analyze data, and develop insights. Regular check-ins to ensure we're on track.
- Delivery & Discussion — Present findings, discuss implications, and provide recommendations. You get documentation to use internally or with stakeholders.
- Decision & Next Steps — You make your decision armed with research and analysis. We can support implementation if needed, or complete the engagement.
Typical timeline: 2-6 weeks depending on complexity. Some research can be turned around in days, others require more extensive work. We'll tell you upfront.
