Research and insights leaders face an impossible equation: deliver faster, more confident insights while navigating long timelines, unpredictable costs and audience constraints. Traditional methods often lack the speed and precision needed for strategic decisions, leading to missed opportunities.

Meanwhile, skepticism around new AI tools persists – promising speed but lacking the transparent, trustworthy foundation research professionals demand.
