Dscout 🤝 Marvin We're challenging the "tradeoff" idea between quality and speed. That you can either have quality insights OR move quickly. Teams need both. ✅ If our platform makes it easy to launch studies quickly and get real, in-the-moment insights... ✅ Marvin makes it easy to keep those insights organized, searchable, and ready to use—long after the project wraps. So when you pair the two, you get a seamless research flow that helps you dig deeper into data AND store findings long-term to make insights easily accessible across teams.

This past year I had the privilege of speaking with a group of User Experience leaders about "Embracing Executiveness" twice. I did a full presentation to a smaller group earlier in the year, and I got to host and introduce the topic at Dscout's Co-Lab conference in September.
