Managed Service

A dedicated operator on your account, calibrated to the junior analyst brief.

For teams that want a real human in the loop. Hop on calls, share data over email or Slack, and have outputs reviewed before they reach you. Pricing is bespoke to your scope and quoted on enquiry.

  • A dedicated human operator on your account, available by call, email, or Slack
  • Calibrated to your brief, format, and tone
  • Outputs reviewed by a human before delivery
  • First month free without commitment, then a custom quote

Custom quote

Quoted to your brief

12-month contract, first month free without commitment.

Enquire for a quote

Twenty minutes on a call, real scoping, then a quote.

Built so the partner can stay focused on the client conversation.

The operator model: every output is reviewed by a human with role-relevant experience before delivery. This isn’t a chatbot.

The audit trail: every action logged, every output timestamped. If compliance asks what generated a research note, there’s a clear answer.

Data security: credentials stored in isolated vaults with scoped permissions. Nothing leaks sideways between clients.

The trial structure: first month at no charge on a defined brief, so you can benchmark quality against your own standards before committing.

Brief us on your next engagement’s research phase.

Define the research deliverable you need for an upcoming client engagement. We’ll produce it to your template and standards. If it meets your quality bar, you’ll have a clearer picture of whether an ongoing arrangement makes more sense than your next junior hire.
