We approach every project with the greatest possible scientific rigor — the highest-quality, most scientifically sound, and unbiased methodologies that will withstand the most challenging scrutiny.
Our highly credentialed scientists and researchers have unsurpassed UX expertise, with degrees in human factors, cognitive and perceptual psychology, ergonomics, computer vision, and other related areas. We have tools and techniques that enable us to transcend the limitations of most qualitative and even quantitative research. And we have the industry and disputes experience to know when that matters most.
