Research Assistants

Deep desk research with judgment: market scans, competitor breakdowns, ICP research, sourcing dossiers — synthesized into a doc you can actually act on, with sources you can defend, instead of 40 browser tabs and a half-finished spreadsheet.

  • Market + competitor research
  • ICP + lead dossiers
  • Synthesized, sourced, citeable

Common tools in this role

  • Apollo, ZoomInfo, LinkedIn Sales Navigator
  • SimilarWeb, SEMrush, Ahrefs
  • Crunchbase, PitchBook
  • Plus the AI assistants your team already uses (Perplexity, ChatGPT, Claude) for first-pass research

A junior analyst used to need a week to do the kind of research a Perplexity query now finishes in five minutes. That’s a real efficiency gain — and it’s also where the work breaks. Five-minute reports are everywhere; the bottleneck is now judgment: which sources to actually trust, which contradiction to chase, which question the AI never thought to ask.

Our Research Assistants compress the gather-and-summarize phase, then add the part you actually pay them for: sanity-checking the data, spotting the contradiction, calling the source to confirm the number, and structuring the doc so the decision-maker can read it in five minutes and act.

Get started

Two paths, one bench .

Start with a dedicated teammate — or step in fractional if you only need an hour or two a day.

Dedicated teammate

There throughout your business day

Working on what you need, when you need it

Dedicated staff, available throughout your business day — picking up whatever's piling up: email, scheduling, follow-ups, the work that keeps slipping. You don't fill a job description; you gain a teammate who learns your business and stays for the long haul.

  • Dedicated to your business — not shared, not stacked
  • 160 hours/month available in your time zone
  • College-educated + 4+ yrs experience
  • Same teammate every day — they learn your business
  • Supported by us, not abandoned after kickoff

Fractional / part-time

Fractional

When you only need a few hours a day

A few hours a day from a dedicated teammate — perfect for things like social media posting, light email triage, or weekly reports. Not a shared rep splitting time across other clients' accounts; your hours are blocked for you, with the same vetted person every shift.

  • Your hours are blocked for you — not split across other clients' accounts
  • Same vetted bench as full-time placements
  • A few hours a day on a set schedule
  • Month-to-month, no long-term contract
