BACK TO SOLUTIONS § 08 · CUSTOM RESEARCH

Custom research and analytics platforms — survey to insights in minutes.

We've shipped a market-research platform that runs cross-tabs, driver analysis, K-means segmentation, TURF, focus-group transcription, and auto-coding of open-ends — without anyone writing SPSS syntax. If you need yours, here's what's underneath.

PROOF OF CAPABILITY
Ragenaizer · Research

A production-grade research module already built and running. We ship a custom one for clients who need their own.

§ Capabilities

What goes inside a real research.

These are the moving parts we've shipped before. Your custom build picks a subset — and we tell you upfront which parts are worth re-implementing and which ones aren't.

/01

Survey ingestion

CSV / Excel / Decipher / Qualtrics imports. Variable mapping, label preservation, weighting.

/02

Cross-tabs with significance

Z-tests with letter notation, configurable confidence levels, weighted bases.

/03

Driver analysis

Multiple linear regression with shapley-style importance. Outputs publication-ready charts.

/04

Segmentation

K-means clustering with elbow / silhouette diagnostics, profiled segments.

/05

TURF

Reach / frequency portfolio optimisation across SKUs / features / message variants.

/06

Open-end auto-coding

LLM-assisted code-frame discovery, manual review, sentiment, theme tagging.

/07

Focus-group transcription

Speaker diarisation, time-coded transcript, theme extraction.

/08

Embeddable dashboards

Embed cross-tab + chart widgets in a client portal — under your domain, your branding.

§ The hard bits

The problems that don't show up in the demo.

These are the ones that take a custom build from "works in a screenshot" to "works in production for three years." We've already learned them once.

  1. 01 Statistical correctness — getting the Z-test to actually match what an SPSS user would expect, edge cases and all.
  2. 02 Performance — cross-tabbing a 50K-row dataset with 200 banner variables in the time it takes to make tea.
  3. 03 Open-end coding that's auditable — the LLM suggested this code, the analyst accepted / rejected, here's the diff.
  4. 04 Multi-language survey responses with mixed scripts in the same column.
  5. 05 Weighting + post-stratification that respects the survey design instead of pretending it's a simple random sample.
§ Stack & shape

How we'd put it together.

DEFAULT STACK · SUBSTITUTABLE

ASP.NET Core for orchestration, Python workers (numpy / pandas / scikit-learn) for the heavy stats, Postgres for survey storage, ClickHouse for fast cross-tab queries on large datasets.

C# · .NET ASP.NET Core Postgres Docker · Linux gRPC where it earns its keep Multi-tenant by default
§ Build vs. license

We'll tell you when not to build.

Custom isn't always the right call. We've shipped Ragenaizer so we can say that honestly.

BUILD CUSTOM WHEN
  • The research is the moat — your competitor can't have the same one.
  • You have compliance / sovereignty / data-residency requirements no SaaS will satisfy.
  • You need to integrate at a level deeper than off-the-shelf vendors expose.
  • Per-seat pricing across thousands of users makes the build cheaper inside 24 months.
LICENSE RAGENAIZER INSTEAD WHEN
  • The workflow is generic enough that a configurable platform will do.
  • You want it in weeks, not quarters.
  • You'd rather buy than own — let someone else maintain the research forever.
  • Your engineering capacity should go to the parts of your product that no SaaS covers.
