Research Practice Starter Kit

Build a Research Practice — Without the Red Tape

If your team struggles with:

  • No budget or headcount for a full-time researcher
  • Stakeholders asking for “research” but no process to deliver it
  • Designers and PMs making assumptions in the absence of data
  • Insights stuck in decks no one revisits

The Research Practice Starter Kit was made for you.

What It Is

A 6-week guided process to help your product or design org stand up a lightweight, sustainable, and high-impact research practice — no PhD or expensive platform required.

You’ll walk away with:

  • A working research plan tied to real business goals
  • Templates to run your first study (and every study after)
  • A shared research repository your team actually uses
  • A small pilot project with clear insight delivery
  • Playbacks and rituals to build stakeholder buy-in

How It Works

We embed alongside a product/design lead to help your team:

  1. Identify your first research opportunity
  2. Set up basic templates, rituals, and workflows
  3. Run a small pilot study (3–5 users)
  4. Synthesize and share insight clearly
  5. Standardize a lightweight process for future work

Who It’s For?

  • Teams without a dedicated UX researcher
  • PMs or designers who “do research” but need more structure
  • Startups scaling fast with unclear decision inputs
  • Orgs ready to make insight a team habit — not a fire drill

Note: The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), enacted on July 4, 2025, has restored the option for U.S. businesses to fully deduct domestic R&D expenses in the year they are incurred, for tax years beginning after December 31, 2024. This reinstates the immediate expensing treatment that was in place for decades before the TCJA changes. Many UX research activities (user interviews, usability testing, journey mapping, survey design) can qualify as part of R&D expenses for tax purposes—if they directly relate to product innovation or development for a new or improved function, performance, reliability, or quality
