What helps us deliver the best match
The more context you share, the sharper the expert match. But you don't need a polished document — a few sentences work just as well.
01
The research question
What are you trying to learn or validate? A market-entry assessment, a competitive deep-dive, a diligence check — even a broad description helps us scope the right approach.
02
Target expert profile
What kind of practitioner do you need? Industry, function, seniority, geography, or specific company experience. The more specific, the faster we match.
03
Timeline
When do you need the first profiles or the first call scheduled? If you're working to a deal deadline or client deliverable, tell us — we prioritise accordingly.
04
Deliverable format
Just the call, or also a transcript, summary, or cross-call synthesis? This helps us scope the engagement accurately the first time.
05
Number of experts
If you have a target — for example, 6 calls across 3 markets — include it. If you're not sure, we'll recommend a scope based on your objective.
