Absolutely — the vast majority of our research projects are custom. We do not work from a fixed list of topics.

What Makes a Strong Research Brief

The most useful things to share upfront are: the core question you want answered, who will use the research and how, the format you expect (report, slide deck, one-page summary), your timeline and any hard deadlines, and any data sources you would like us to incorporate or avoid.

If you are unsure about some of these, that is completely fine — we can work through them during the discovery call.

Topics We Do Not Cover

We reserve the right to decline requests that conflict with our values or ethics standards. We will not take on research designed to mislead or deceive an audience, or that facilitates illegal activity. In any of these cases, we will let you know promptly and explain our reasoning.
