Reference table
Koji vs other routes to an agency client deck
How agencies get from finished fieldwork to a client deliverable
A comparison of four ways research agencies turn interviews into a client deliverable: Koji, building the deck by hand, a separate transcription and synthesis tool, and a moderated fieldwork partner. It compares the draft deck, the evidence trail, moderation consistency, personal data handling and client access, and shows where the team's hours go in each route.
