Questions

Frequently asked

What is a commissioned study?
A commissioned study is original research designed around one organization's question — custom instruments, primary data collection, benchmarking against sector norms, and an executive readout with recommended actions.
How long does a custom study take?
Most engagements run from six to sixteen weeks depending on sample size, number of geographies, and whether longitudinal tracking is included. Rapid-pulse studies can be fielded in under four weeks.
Who owns the data from a commissioned study?
The commissioning organization owns its proprietary findings. Aggregated, de-identified benchmarks may inform sector norms only with explicit permission.
