The problem

Delivering more without it costing more is the core challenge.

+Project surges

Capacity gaps

Project surges do not justify full-time hires, but turning down work costs client relationships. You need analytical capacity that scales with the pipeline.

$Project economics

Rising delivery costs

US analytical talent is expensive and research runs on project economics. Over-budget analyst hours compress margins on the next brief.

?Freelancer visibility

Freelancer risk

Sourcing and QA-ing freelancers consumes as much time as doing the work. No visibility into process, accuracy, or data handling.

Three roles. One vertical. Deployed in 14 days.

estimated annual savings

“From four people to eighteen in a year, in a new office in Islamabad, without replacing anyone in the US.”

A US primary research firm was growing revenue fast and could not hire research operations and compliance people quickly enough: a local hire took two to three months. Outsentia set up a team for them in Islamabad, starting with sector analysts and a compliance team, at 70% below US rates. As the firm kept growing, we hired their full-stack engineering team, which built their internal client portal, and we are now adding AI automation specialists who automate functions inside the business. The team went from 4 people to 18 in 12 months. Nobody in the US was replaced. Outsentia recruits and interviews, the firm makes the final call, and the team reports to them directly while we manage it locally.
