Insight is
everything.
An end-to-end service to help you optimise data to derive meaningful insights to support decision making
Leveraging our subject matter expertise at the crossroads of social science and ethical technology, we help organisations use data in a more meaningful way. We assist in defining short- and long-term objectives, define questions and needs, and deliver practical knowledge and concrete plans on how to better use data to address complex societal issues.
Benefits
Understand the problem, really
Organizations face tough challenges and increasing pressure to deliver results fast. Sustainable solutions need a firm foundation of understanding. Let us help you step back and take a moment to really understand the problems you’re facing.
Choosing the right data
There’s an abundance of data out there. We help you get hold of the right data, in the right way, and use it responsibly to make better decisions.
Saving precious time
We understand that wrestling with an abundance of data takes time and effort, but the right methods and processes make all the difference. Through our data services, we collect, clean, process, and prepare relevant data for integration into your decision-making operations – helping you respond with greater agility to changing circumstances
Extract meaning from data
It takes more than a mountain of data to understand and solve complex societal problems. Using our in-depth subject expertise, we help you grasp what the data is saying (and what it’s not) so that you, the human, stay in control of the decision-making loop.
Knowledge transfer
Make use of our vast experience designing and delivering high-quality training programmes, and empower your team with information and skills needed to fight the good fight.

Why Trilateral Research?
Alongside an obsession with AI ethics, adopting a sociotechnical approach is at the heart of everything we do. Tackling complex societal challenges with meaningful insights requires bringing together social science and subject matter expertise and advanced technologies into the design of every solution. This approach enables us to deliver user-centred, fit-for-purpose and long-lasting results, which have a positive impact.
Skipping across the surface of today’s big challenges isn’t something we do. Expertise and clarity are the antidote to increasing complexity and uncertainty. From our diverse team of interdisciplinary researchers , to our strong knowledge of our customers’ contexts of use and the real-world problems they face, we have the expertise to understand the issues at play and chart a path forward.
Agility and user-centric co-design go hand-in-hand. Just as we want to keep humans ‘in the loop’ when building AI , we want to keep our customers ‘in the loop’ throughout our agile development processes. Because while we may call them customers, we think of them as partners.
