Insight Engine Build: Research Stack Bundling (10-20 days)
A repeatable research and insight engine that combines survey, behavioral, and secondary data sources to replace guesswork with evidence for client strategy and reporting.
- Client agreement on research objectives and key questions
- Access to client's existing data sources (CRM, analytics, past surveys)
- Selection of primary research platform (e.g., Typeform, Qualtrics)
- Selection of behavioral analytics tool (e.g., Hotjar, FullStory)
- Defined audience segments and sample size targets
- 1.Kickoff workshop to align on research goals and success metrics
- 2.Inventory existing client data and past research artifacts
- 3.Map decision points where evidence will influence strategy
- 1.Design survey instruments with skip logic and branching
- 2.Configure behavioral tracking on key pages or product flows
- 3.Set up secondary data sources (e.g., market reports, competitor scans)
- 1.Pilot survey with internal team to validate question clarity
- 2.Deploy survey to a small sample for initial feedback
- 3.Verify behavioral tracking is capturing intended events
- 1.Launch full survey distribution across channels
- 2.Begin continuous behavioral data collection
- 3.Monitor response rates and adjust distribution if needed
- 1.Collect and clean survey responses
- 2.Export behavioral data and prepare for analysis
- 3.Compile secondary research into a structured repository
- 1.Analyze survey data for key themes and statistical significance
- 2.Segment behavioral data by user type or funnel stage
- 3.Cross-reference self-reported insights with observed behavior
- 1.Draft insight report with visualizations and key findings
- 2.Identify gaps between stated preferences and actual behavior
- 3.Develop preliminary recommendations for client strategy
- 1.Present draft findings to client for feedback
- 2.Refine analysis based on client input
- 3.Finalize recommendation set with prioritized actions
- 1.Package deliverables: report, dashboard, and raw data exports
- 2.Document the insight engine process for repeatability
- 3.Train client team on using the dashboard and refreshing data
- 1.Deliver final report and walkthrough session
- 2.Set up a recurring cadence for ongoing research cycles
- 3.Collect client feedback and define next iteration scope
Agencies bundle tool subscriptions and analysis hours into a premium retainer, charging 2-3x the raw tool costs. The insight engine becomes a differentiator that justifies higher retainers and extends client relationships beyond one-off projects.
- Research strategy document with objectives and methodology
- Survey instrument and behavioral tracking configuration
- Insight report with visualizations and prioritized recommendations
- Live dashboard for ongoing monitoring
- Raw data exports and documentation for client ownership
Client signs off on the insight report and dashboard, and the agency has a documented, repeatable process for running future research cycles.
