Start with the decision. We scope the research around it.
Every engagement starts with a 30-minute call about the decision you are facing, who will make it, and where your current research process is costing you. You leave with a recommendation. If there is a fit, a fixed-fee proposal follows within two business days.
What we cover in 30 minutes.
Bring a study you are planning, one that underdelivered, or a decision you cannot make yet. Product, market sizing, go-to-market, competitive, technology, brand tracking, and thought leadership studies all start here.
- 1The decision and who makes itWhat the research needs to settle, who acts on it, and whether that is a person, a committee, or a process that uses AI tools.
- 2The evidence that fitsSurvey, interviews, signals your business already has, or a mix. Some questions need less new data than you expect.
- 3The audienceWhich mix of decision-makers, influencers, and day-to-day users you need, and whether you can reach them at a price that makes sense.
- 4Budget and approvalWhat the decision is worth, how procurement will judge the spend, and who has to sign off.
- A recommendation on your next step
- The stage most likely costing you
- Fixed-fee proposal if it is a fit
- Same-day reply for live studies

Before you book.
Is the scoping call a sales pitch?
No. It is a working conversation about your decision. If a kit, a smaller study, or no new research at all is the better answer, you will hear that.
Do you run studies, or teach our team to run them?
Both. Run It means we run the research for you. Build It means we set up the process with your team so they can run it. The call is where we work out which one fits.
We do not have a research team. Is that a problem?
No. Many clients are marketing, product, or strategy leaders who commission research a few times a year. We handle the research side and keep your stakeholders involved.
Will you recommend suppliers you have a financial relationship with?
Partners are chosen for fit with your audience. Any commercial relationship with a recommended supplier is disclosed in writing.
Do you work outside the US?
Yes. MR Framework is based in Rochester, NY, works with clients across the US, and runs multi-country B2B studies.
