Research ops services

Research ops, handled.

Send us a screener and a number. We program it, recruit, schedule, chase no-shows and pay incentives, all in your Great Question workspace. Your team just runs the sessions.

What we take on

  • Recruiting, end to end

    Screeners programmed and studies launched, to your panel or external audiences. You approve the shortlist before anyone is contacted.

  • Scheduling and incentives

    Participants booked into your calendars. No-shows, reschedules and incentives handled.

  • Panel health check

    We find the over-contacted and quiet parts of your panel, and set a cadence that keeps people responding.

Retainer

Research ops on retainer

Ongoing recruiting and logistics, so your team only runs sessions. We run the recruit end to end, under your eligibility rules and contact limits.

  • Participants shortlisted and booked into your calendars
  • No-shows, reschedules and incentives handled
  • A quarterly panel health check: contact frequency, incentives, targeting

A senior researcher can plan the study, run the sessions and bring you a recommendation, in the same workspace as your retainer.

Frequently asked questions

Who runs the sessions?
Your team does. We handle the screener, the recruit, the scheduling and the incentives, so your researchers, designers and PMs only show up to talk to people.
Can you recruit from our own customers?
Yes. We recruit from your CRM and panel using your eligibility rules and contact limits, and from external panels when you need people you don't have.
Who owns the participants and recordings?
You do. Everything happens in your Great Question workspace, and everyone we recruit is added to your panel, with their consent.
How is the retainer priced?
Annually, sized to your study volume. Harri scopes it with you on a 20-minute call, and you leave with a price.
Can we add a researcher for one project?
Yes. A senior researcher can run a study alongside your retainer, in the same workspace. See research services for how a one-off study works.
