Ongoing Research Desk

A research desk on a monthly rhythm.

Research questions recur, and each one-off report starts again from nothing. This arrangement keeps the knowledge in one running file. You submit questions and watch items; each month you receive answers, updates on the suppliers, competitors or markets you named, and a source log that grows. It is manual research on a rhythm, not alerts or automation.

The decision this page is about

Is the research need recurring enough to justify a standing arrangement?

A desk makes sense when the same few suppliers, competitors or categories need to be revisited and each revisit benefits from the last one. It does not make sense for a single bounded question, which a one-off report serves better. Scope and rhythm are agreed before the first cycle.

Updates arrive on the agreed rhythm; nothing is monitored in real time and no alert is raised between cycles.

Coverage is the list you and LATYNEX agreed, not the whole market.
