DESK
Add research capacity without adding headcount.
Retained external research capacity for organisations with recurring research needs. DESK may include defined RESEARCH, ordinary REVIEW, source work and agreed WATCH work.
When to use it
What this product is for
- Agreed monthly capacity
- Defined work types and priority rules
- Normal turnaround and simultaneous workstreams
- Recurring briefs, evidence maps and source notes
- Clear escalation when the APERTURE reliance threshold is crossed
What you send
Start with the material.
A question, document, report, claim set, named subject, agreed monitoring topic or recurring research request is enough to begin. Aperture confirms the appropriate scope before paid work starts.
Boundary: DESK is not unlimited research and does not automatically include professional evidence assurance.
Indicative pricing
Start with the smallest responsible scope.
