What's your headache?

Bring us the headache. We check it’s the right question, go and ask the people who know, and tell you what we’d do.

Headache not on the list? Tell us anyway. If it's not us, we'll point you to who it is.

We care about the people on both sides of the table: the ones we interview, and the ones we work for.
People open up to us, and we respect that. It’s why our findings land.

How we work

01

Question the question

Before looking for answers, make sure you’re solving the right problem. Sometimes the right answer is neither option.

02

Find the people

Through introductions, not lists. For every project we bring in local partners and industry experts, so we get up to speed fast.

03

Be in the room

Face to face, so we hear what people mean, not just what they say. We travel light, so being there doesn’t inflate the budget.

04

Tie it to the business

Every finding comes with what it means for your numbers and what we’d do next, including the uncomfortable ones.

Where we work

Based in Budapest. Close to the action.

Through our network, or an effective trip of our own, we reach people quickly and affordably within the radius.

Where we stand

András Polgár

In market research, nothing can really beat humans.

AI can do the desk research, and still leave you unsure about what to do next. You can't blame it for a bad decision, and you can't credit it for a good one.

Many of our workflows are automated.

Validating what’s real will never be.
