How a Compeers project
actually runs

A defined sequence of five stages, with a senior researcher leading every decision and AI handling the operational work in between.

A researcher leads.
AI executes.

Every project at Compeers has a senior researcher running it from kickoff through delivery. They approve the methodology, review every output, and own the final deliverable.

AI handles the parts that benefit from speed, like survey programming, data cleaning, crosstabulation, charting, report prep and so on. AI doesn't go to the next step unless the researcher approves the current step.

Every study arrives ready to present

The five stages of a project

STAGE 01

Kickoff

You share the business question, prior research, and the decision your team needs to inform. We confirm methodology, sample, and timing before any data is collected.

STAGE 02

Design

We draft the discussion guide or questionnaire and walk you through the logic. You approve the instrument before fielding starts.

STAGE 03

Fieldwork

We handle programming, sample sourcing, fielding, and quality checks. You see progress as data comes in, not just at the end.

STAGE 04

Analysis

AI prepares the data, codes the open ends, and surfaces the patterns. The researcher interprets, validates, and writes the findings.

STAGE 05

Delivery

You get the final report, supporting tables, and a record of the work. We present to your team or stakeholders if you want us in the room.

Where researchers decide and where AI executes

What the researcher does

Methodology design, sample plan, instrument review and approval, interpretation of findings, preliminary conclusions and recommendation calls, and any judgment that affects how a finding gets framed.

What AI handles

Routine research work that benefits from speed and scale.

Quantitative: Desk research, first draft questionnaire, survey programming, data cleaning, crosstabulation and analysis, verbatim coding , charting, advanced analytics modeling and first-draft Stories and reporting.

Qualitative: Desk research, first draft discussion guide, multilingual transcription, notes grid prep, first-draft Stories showreel creation and reporting.

Faster, more affordable

What you bring versus what we handle

What you bring

The business question, the context your stakeholders care about, and any prior research that should inform the work. Your decisions stay yours.

What we handle

Methodology, instrument design and survey programming, fielding, data-processing, modeling, first-draft reports. Researcher reviews every step before the process moves forward.

Three ways to work with us

MOST TEAMS START HERE
Qualitative icon

Full-service

We run the entire project. You review at key checkpoints and approve the final deliverable. This is how most teams start with us.

Quantitative icon

Hybrid

Your team owns specific stages while we run the rest, with researcher oversight on the work we do. Useful when you have a strong internal team but limited capacity.

Mixed-method icon

Self-serve

Your team operates the platform with our methodology and support. Best for teams with mature in-house research practices that want speed without giving up control.

FAQ

Questions teams ask before signing on

How is the researcher actually involved?

The client brings the business context and the questions their stakeholders need answered. A Compeers researcher runs every project from kickoff through delivery. They review and approve the methodology and the AI's output at every step, keeping every output tied to the client's questions.

What exactly does the AI do in the workflow?

AI handles the stages that traditionally stretch a project by days or weeks: desk research, first-draft questionnaires, survey programming, data cleaning, crosstabulation, verbatim coding, charting, and first-draft reporting. The researcher makes the final call on every step and every output.

What if we already have a panel and survey platform we like?

We can work with your preferred survey platform panel provider and manage the end-to-end data collection process, including sample acquisition. If you don't have a preferred vendor, we tap our network of trusted partners and still manage the process end to end.

What use cases are best suited for Compeers AI?

Compeers AI supports a broad range of quantitative and qualitative market research, from standard surveys and interviews to advanced analytics projects. Teams can use Compeers for concept and product testing, brand and customer research, segmentation, pricing research, key-driver analysis, MaxDiff, conjoint analysis, TURF, in-depth interviews and focus groups and soon qual-at-scale projects.

Because the platform supports the workflow from research design and data collection through analysis, visualization, and reporting, it can be used for both straightforward research questions and more complex strategic studies.

Using a single, unified research platform helps lean insights teams reduce tool fragmentation, manual coordination, and duplicated work across the research process. It allows a small team to manage more projects efficiently while maintaining consistency from research design through analysis and reporting.

Can Compeers AI analyze multiple research projects or combine research data with other business data?

Yes. Compeers AI can analyze multiple related research projects together, including qualitative and quantitative studies, to identify patterns and generate insights across a broader body of research.Teams can also combine research data with other relevant business data, such as sales, category, customer, or operational data, enabling a more complete analysis of the business question rather than viewing each research project in isolation.

This helps teams extract more value from research they have already conducted and connect what consumers say with what is actually happening in the business. It can also reveal relationships and insights that may not be visible when individual studies or data sources are analyzed separately.

How quickly can Compeers AI turn research data into insights and reports?

Compeers AI can turn research data into insights, visualizations, and first-draft reports within minutes to about an hour after data collection ends, depending on the project and analysis required. Because data processing, analysis, visualization, and reporting happen within the same platform, teams can move from completed fieldwork to decision-ready output far faster than with a traditional research workflow.

Once the data collection ends, Compeers executes the following tasks:
- Data cleaning, including straightliners, speeders, duplicate IP addresses, bot-generated responses, inconsistent responses, etc.
- Initial visuazation for data exploration
- Full cross-tabulation and analysis, including significance testing
- Open-ended coding
- Any modeling for adavanced analytics, as needed
- Simulator and solver for conjoint and max-diff projects
- Typing tool for segmentation projects
- First-draft executive summary
- Stories (an industry-first storytelling capability)
- First-draft report generation

The above process may take minutes to up to an hour depending on project complexity and sample size. The key point is that at every step, users can stop the model, modify the instructions sent to it, and edit any model-generated response. This ensures that the user, not the model, remains in control throughout the research process.The purpose of Compeers AI is to let researchers use their domain expertise and knowledge of the business and its stakeholders where they add the most value. By reducing the time spent on the mechanics of research, Compeers enables them to spend more time on interpretation, strategic thinking, and advising stakeholders.

How to transaction fees work?

MemberStack charges a flat transaction fee of 10% on the Startup plan and 3% on the Pro plan, and 1% on the Scale plan. Stripe charges an additional credit card processing fee that depends on a few different factors. See Stripe's pricing for more details.

What can I protect with MemberStack?

We’re working on a content management system that would make it possible to store anything securely on any website. Although, it’ll be a few months before something like this is ready (01/2019).

They can't be "turned off" from a browser, but there are ways to access the HTML of a page if you know what you're looking for, and what you're doing. Therefor, we don't recommend using MemberStack to protect highly sensitive information.

Who should apply for the Startup Plan?

Pre-revenue companies, students, and other folks who can't (yet) afford the $25/mo fee. We've been there, so we're happy to work with you.
