“As we start to make meaningful progress toward what we’re recommending, we’re going to immediately start learning things that challenge that vision. Yes, We have this future-facing, North Star vision for whatever initiative we happen to be working on, but it is not set in stone. As we learn things …

“One of the differences between in-person research and remote research is the longitudinal aspect. With dscout and diary studies, we can engage with a particular group over a period of time. That’s so valuable for us in talking about things like money and work, because it’s not something that people …

“I use dscout when I want people to try something in the world, and then really come back and reflect with us on it.”

"We chose a Diary study because we wanted to understand these folks over time, and we know everybody's day is a little different, but Mark and I really wanted to understand, "What are the highs and lows of working for a small business?" It was also important that we have …

“We need to be in there, ensuring AI is continuously tweaked to account for potentially negative impacts and human unpredictability. That can only be done if humans are in there, testing and tweaking AI until it works for us. Working together, we can make quicker data-driven decisions and design services …

"More than ever before, we’re striving for consumer-led innovation. Tools like dscout allow us to walk that walk, and actually not only want to do that, but actually do that, by truly understanding the consumers we serve."

"The dscout platform simplified the process, eliminating much of the logistical coordination work and letting me focus only on the information I wanted to get and the information that I did get."

"Being able to do remote qual, mobile ethnographies, journaling, and robust screeners allows you to learn quickly and make sure that the time you spend with people in-person is as rich and meaningful as possible."

"It was really important to us that we have a diverse sample, diverse in a wide range of ways, and that our data has some real breadth to it. We also knew that we wanted to have really deep conversations with parents and be able to contextualize their approaches to …

"That makes clear what many of us already knew, that it's not about our screens, but what we do with them that matters. What we didn't know was how parents in the US today actually feel about navigating media with their children, and that's where dscout enters the picture."

“I started recruiting partially with dscout. We wanted to test with 12 users. Six non-users of our products and six current users—who we’d already had recruited. We put them in separately and onboarded them with dscout.”

"I knew I had strong feelings after working on the team as a researcher for several years about where I wanted ReOps to focus its efforts, and I did not want to unintentionally interpret the diary study submissions through that lens. We are not a user research team of one …

"We really needed quick and punchy content to engage our team and help them focus. So for us, this meant prioritizing succinct video clips, and other really engaging formats that would hold people's attentions in order to deliver our insights for maximum impact."

"I hadn’t talked to potential customers yet and started to think, ‘Do people really use a changing table or do they just avoid it? Do they not even go into the store?"
