Process expertise

Our superpower is your strategic advantage

Decades of hard work and success has given us a true edge in market research. We use this to provide unique and inventive outcomes for our clients that enable them to pull ahead from their own competitors.

The Triple Nexus Model

Our unique model is based on nearly four decades of expertise. It weaves together novel data sets and methodologies in a way that provides a deeper, more useful, and more predictive analysis of human and market behaviour.

Quadrangulation

Our methodology factors in a contextual data set, which increases the relevance of our findings compared to traditional triangulation of data. It also provides the basis for predictive data analysis, turning insight into foresight. Additionally, our quadrangulation method helps identify relationships and anomalies that more rudimentary models miss.

AI Validation Loop

Applied in the highest-valued added processes, our selective use of different AI technologies allows us to hone and refine every stage of our research methodology, on top of standard data and insight augmentation. As well as leading to scientifically superior insights, it also supports predictive analysis, helping to turn insight into foresight.

Applied Neuroscience

People inaccurately vocalise their feelings and behaviours, making it critical for researchers to drill down to relevant emotional and psychological factors. Our unique model effectively reduces behavioural ‘noise’ and greatly improves interpretation of responses and observations, which also provides the basis for turning observations into behavioural forecasts.
