Research

Know the insights before you build.

Market intelligence, research and consulting for decisions that need evidence first: which market, what to pay, how to get ready for new rules, and how to fund the work.

Research that ends in a decision

Every engagement starts from the decision you need to make and works back to the evidence. You get findings with their sources, the reasoning that connects them, and a recommendation you can challenge.

Questions

What is market intelligence?

Market intelligence is structured evidence about a market — buyers, competitors, prices, labour and regulation — collected and analysed so a decision can be made on it. We deliver it as a written brief with its sources.

Is pay transparency work legal advice?

No. We prepare the operational material: audited job ads, written pay-range reasoning and a gap list against Directive (EU) 2023/970. Your lawyer or HR counsel can work from it.

Do you guarantee that a funding application wins?

No. Funding decisions belong to the evaluators. We make sure the application is eligible, coherent, complete and on time.

Which funding programmes do you work with?

EU programmes (such as Horizon Europe, the EIC and Digital Europe) and Romanian programmes financed from EU funds. Eligibility is checked against the specific call before any work starts.

How is an engagement quoted?

Every engagement is scoped and quoted in writing before work starts. ZORRI is not a VAT payer, so quotes are final, with no VAT added.
