We decided to use PreScouter to test out their service. Once we started the project, and the data started coming in, we realized that we were learning a lot of interesting things. As we drilled down further and further, the majority of items turned out to be very useful. My opinion went from PreScouter being a service "it could not hurt to try" to being a service that produced very valuable results.

For the project we engaged PreScouter on, most people who have been working in this area for the last 20 or 30 years have a tendency to think inside the box. I wanted to get diversity of input and spark inter-sectional innovation. PreScouter delivered.

The insights PreScouter provides help us build new product solutions. Throughout the stage-gated process, PreScouter's insights challenge us and cause us to think outside of the box. If we would have done the research ourselves it would have taken us many months to complete.
