Research Engineering
We apply cutting-edge AI research pipelines to strategic planning questions that large organizations face. Competitive intelligence, market entry, pricing, policy analysis, all done with the rigor of an economics research firm and the speed of purpose-built AI infrastructure.
What we do differently
Most corporate research relies on a narrow set of sources, familiar frameworks, and tight timelines. The output is often directional at best.
We run structured research processes that pull from academic literature, proprietary data, and specialized AI tooling. Our team includes economists, technologists, and domain specialists who apply quantitative methods to strategic questions. The work is reproducible, evidence-based, and built to hold up in planning discussions.
Half the challenge with large strategic planning questions is giving them structure. Thinking in economic terms, supply and demand, elasticity, incentive design, helps cut through complexity.
Our bread-and-butter tasks involve searching for, digging through, and extracting findings, models, and data from academic research. We bring scholarly rigor to commercial questions.
We have built a strong set of processes, using AI agents and specialized software, to streamline research and unify disparate sources of data into coherent, actionable intelligence.

Each pipeline combines AI agents, specialized tools, and proprietary data sources. The tooling covers scale and speed. Our research team applies the analytical structure, contextual judgment, and methodological rigor required to produce work that is actually useful.
AI Agents & Tooling
Purpose-built chains of AI agents that gather, filter, and structure information at a scale no manual team can match.
Proprietary Data
Specialized databases, curated feeds, and structured data pipelines tuned for corporate strategy, not academic citation graphs.
Economist Rigor
Frameworks, cross-domain pattern recognition, and analytical judgment from trained economists. The layer that turns information into insight.
Our Platform
Moara, the Mother of All Research Assistants, is an AI-powered research platform we built to streamline how serious research gets done. It is used by academics and institutions worldwide, and it is a key part of the toolchain that powers our research pipelines.
For our advisory clients, Moara adds speed and traceability. Every insight can be traced back to its underlying evidence.
Explore Moara.ioSearch, screen, and synthesize across scholarly databases with AI agents guiding the process.
Manage references, query a research assistant, and write with auto-formatted citations in one workspace.
Every finding traces to source material. No hallucinations, no unsupported claims.
