Typical case sprint
Built for Case Pace
When the engagement clock is running, sourcing speed and profile precision decide whether expert input lands in the storyline or after it. We run at case pace because we were trained on it.
Where We Plug In
Former competitors, customers, and channel voices — sourced and scheduled inside diligence timelines, with transcripts feeding the data room.
Practitioner inputs to pressure-test your model assumptions — pricing, volumes, channel structure, regulatory reality on the ground.
People who have operated inside or sold against the players you're mapping — positioning, win/loss dynamics, and roadmap signals.
Rapid expert programmes when the case enters a sector your team doesn't cover weekly — get to practitioner-level understanding fast.
IDIs, focus groups, and targeted surveys with buyers and users — qualitative depth plus right-sized quant under one scope.
Operators who have run the function you're benchmarking — cost structures, process maturity, and what good actually looks like.
What Your Team Gets
Late-evening briefs, shifting scopes, three workstreams running at once — we've designed the service for the reality of casework, not an idealised process.
Try us on one workstream
Run a single brief alongside your incumbent network and compare profile quality and speed directly.
Submit a Project01
Initial screened profiles typically within days. Briefs acknowledged same day. When a workstream is blocked waiting on expert input, every day matters — we operate accordingly.
02
The profiles every network has are not the ones that win cases. Our research-trained team recruits for your brief specifically — including hard-to-reach operators no platform has pre-listed.
03
Verbatim transcripts within two business days and structured summaries in a consistent format — evidence that drops into the storyline, not raw notes someone has to reprocess at midnight.
04
Competitors, customers, and channel sourcing can run simultaneously under one scope — coordinated by a single project lead who knows your full case context.
05
Your client's identity and the case focus are never disclosed to experts. Engagement records are available if your firm's risk team asks how the work was run.
06
No retainer, no platform fee, no annual minimum. Engage per case with transparent per-call or per-programme pricing — and a free replacement if an expert isn't a fit.
One Partner, Full Chain
Add IDIs, focus groups, or a right-sized survey (50–300 respondents) to the same engagement — voice-of-customer evidence and quant validation under one scope, one project lead, one consolidated deliverable.

Most consulting teams run more than one network. Teams use us where the big platforms underperform: niche briefs that need real recruiting rather than database matching, structured deliverables, senior attention on smaller cases, and per-case commercials without a retainer. Run one workstream with us and compare directly.
