We're able to offer research support, working with other members of your team to produce high-quality mixed-methods research in the fields of forensic linguistics, open-source intelligence gathering, dataset construction & visualisation, and academic software engineering. We have publications in fields ranging from cyber security to epidemiology. A network of experienced contacts assists where we require work in new areas.

Maintaining scientific accountability whilst remaining responsive to developing research questions is a challenge. We have consistently delivered software tooling for research, using state-of-the-art methods to produce models and tools that are carefully tested, consistently versioned, and clearly documented.

Experience collecting and processing data from a variety of sources for analysis of content and social graph using qualitative and quantitative means, from a handful of data up to many terabytes, covering a variety of media types.

We specialise in data-centric work, and are able to manage the data collection and operationalisation process from initial sampling design through to analysis and visualisation. This experience ranges from conventional questionnaires and manual interviews, through crowdsourcing and automated data retrieval at web scale.

We can guide your research using principles of rigorous statistical analysis, and inform the meaning derived from the data using widely-used qualitative frameworks to derive valuable insights from your observations.
