Best Results for You

It may not be what you wanted, but it is what you need

Good craftsmen are not primarily defined by their tools, but foremost by their knowledge about when and how to use them.

We are driven by your initial question; which we will help you clarify and refine. We empathize with your problem from the beginning and deliver clear answers until the end.

We do not sell a methodology because it is fancy or fashionable. Guided by empirical evidence, we always go back to the problem posed and the target group to consult. Both determine which tools and techniques we ultimately select to best address your actual business issues.

Client’s voice

What sets us apart?

We feel responsible for delivering what you looked for and beyond. We go the extra mile in conception, service and output.

The art of conversation

Conversation is an art. We manage seamless transitions in narrative settings with your customers. You can expect flowing dialogues, imaginative vocabulary, rich verbatim. Asking good questions looks pretty easy but requires professional skills! The ultimate art: have people open up and talk without having to ask any questions.

Masters of text

We are experts in understanding lines and between the lines. We are MASTERS OF UNSTRUCTURED TEXT. We decode meaning. Hand us over your big verbatim data and let us extract the story. Put our team to the test!

We blend human intelligence and artificial intelligence. We use the machine to manage huge quantities of text, but we are responsible for the coding. Because identifying the relevant indicators in the language is what we are trained for.

Excellent moderation

We excel in moderation, facilitation, and interviewing. We harvest data ourselves and guaranty a constant level of quality. Same for the analysis, interpretation, and subsequent storytelling.

Eye-opening, lasting results

Our clients need us to open the blinders everyone has about their own industry. And they cherish the long-term validity of our results, which go far beyond the actual scope of the initial question. We deliver far-reaching analysis to build a strong understanding and ultimately long-term strategies and success.

Lively presentations

Last but not least, you will experience a lively presentation and impactful internal roll-out of the research results. Our oral presentations (whether in-person or digital) leave an imprint of energy and passion. They are conducted with the audience profile in mind and built to be interactive as well as entertaining.

... And we work surprisingly fast.

Our processes are streamlined and fast-paced, our thinking is high tempo, and the results are always delivered on time.

Our values, your benefits
