Our POV
A contractor executes studies you have already scoped. A fractional lead decides which studies are worth running at all, which is the more valuable half of the job and the one most teams are missing.
A senior hire is a salary, benefits and three to six months of searching, committed before you know the shape of the function. Fractional leadership scales up and down, stops when you want it to, and ends with a handover rather than a dependency.
What We Do
Decide what is worth running. A monthly cadence that prioritises research against the decisions the business is actually facing, and says no to the studies that would not change anything.
Hold the standard. Templates, quality criteria and governance, with work assessed against the standard rather than against taste.
Build the capability. Running studies alongside your team so the methods stay after we go, with the documentation an incoming permanent lead needs on day one.
