Why partner with us

Research capacity embedded in how you already work.

Most B2B SaaS and enterprise teams need customer answers faster than they can hire researchers or wait on a traditional agency. Design partners treat Tangible as their standing research function — the team they brief when marketing needs message validation, product needs concept testing, or leadership needs evidence before a major decision.

How it works

Four steps.

  1. 01

    Bring the research question

    Your marketing, product, brand, or insights team identifies what needs validating — messaging, concepts, positioning, win/loss, churn drivers, launch readiness.

  2. 02

    Brief us in minutes

    Five-minute intake, same as briefing an agency. We scope the study, confirm audience and timeline, and send a proposal within 24 hours.

  3. 03

    We run the study

    50–300 AI-moderated interviews with dynamic probing, human-reviewed analysis, and 27 quality checks. Typically 3–7 days from brief to report.

  4. 04

    Answers land with your team

    Board-ready report with themes, verbatim quotes, and a clear recommendation — ready to share with stakeholders and act on immediately.

Who it's for

B2B SaaS and enterprise teams that need a research partner, not a tool.

    Test concepts, features, and positioning with real buyers before development commits. Get qual depth at the speed product decisions actually move.

  • Brand & communications

    Run perception studies, rebrand validation, and narrative testing with buyers in days — not the months a traditional agency timeline requires.

  • Insights & strategy

    Extend your team's capacity with overflow studies that meet your methodological standards — methodology notes, transcripts, and structured analysis included.

Embedded agency — not another platform to operate.

Design partners chose Tangible because it fits how enterprise teams actually buy research: brief an expert, get a report, move on. No training. No licenses. No six-month agency SOW.

FAQ

Common questions.

What is a design partner?
A B2B SaaS or enterprise company that partners with Tangible as their embedded research agency — running studies through us on an ongoing basis and helping shape the product as we integrate deeper into their workflow.
Do we need researchers on our team to use Tangible?
No. Tangible is built for decision-makers who need customer answers, not research operators. Brief us like you'd brief an agency; we handle study design, recruiting, moderation, analysis, and delivery.
What study types can we run?
Message testing, concept validation, win/loss analysis, churn studies, brand perception, segmentation, competitive positioning, and launch readiness — any qualitative study where you need to hear from buyers.
How fast can we get results?
Sprint studies deliver in 3 days. Standard studies in 5–7 days. Brief us Monday, have validated answers by the end of the week.
Do you sign an NDA and work under our procurement rules?
Yes. Every engagement starts with a mutual NDA. Studies typically sit under $10K — below most procurement thresholds — so you can start without a six-month vendor process.
