Ongoing research partnerships, or individual projects
Some questions require ongoing attention; others call for a focused investigation. We agree a research approach suited to your business needs.
Follow your business priorities
01
Ongoing research partnership
For clients who need to keep track of markets, competition and business risks.
We review your business priorities and agree on research questions, workload and delivery schedules for each stage. As your business develops, we update existing research and discuss emerging questions.
What the work includes
Agree the research priorities and changes to follow during each period.
Update the research at an agreed cadence and explain where assessments have changed.
Discuss emerging questions and plan the next period of research.
Monthly or quarterly fees are based on the agreed research scope and workload. Arrangements for new or expanded tasks are agreed before work begins.
For clients seeking a single research project focused on a defined question.
For each business question, both parties confirm the scope, required materials, deliverables, fee and timing in a written SOW. Unless otherwise agreed, research starts after official confirmation and the agreed payment.
What the work includes
Define the specific question and what the research needs to answer.
Deliver the agreed findings, supporting evidence and unresolved questions.
Clarify questions within the agreed scope after delivery.
Each project is quoted separately. On completion, we deliver the findings and clarify questions within the agreed scope.
Outline your business context, current questions and timing requirements.
Agree the scope and fee
Confirm the questions, materials, deliverables, fee and timing together.
Research and communicate
Find sources, check facts and compare explanations. Discuss material gaps or changes to the scope as they arise.
Deliver and discuss
Explain the findings, evidence and unresolved questions. Ongoing partnerships build on this work over time.
Fees reflect the scope and depth of the research
The number of questions and subjects, the difficulty of finding and verifying information, the depth of the deliverables and the timing all affect the work involved. Ongoing partnerships use a monthly or quarterly fee; individual projects are quoted separately. We agree the details before starting.
Each engagement uses a written Statement of Work (SOW) agreed by both parties to confirm scope, currency, taxes, payment terms, deliverables and timing. Unless the SOW says otherwise, work begins after official confirmation and receipt of the agreed payment. Added scope requires written approval; ongoing partnerships renew automatically only if expressly agreed in the contract.
Which approach fits your research needs?
Outline your business context so we can define the research question together.
