Research is a team effort.

We bring research, field practice and technology together to help organizations hear people in the language they use every day.

A shared way of working

Different disciplines. One research team.

Researchers, field practitioners, designers and engineers work together here. Each brings a different view of what makes a survey useful and easy to answer.

We build with the whole research journey in mind, from the first question to the findings a team can review and use.

  • Research

    We help teams turn clear objectives into questions people can answer.

  • Field practice

    We account for the phones, connections and languages people use every day.

  • Product and engineering

    We build the tools that help organizations run surveys and work with their findings.

The name

Shiriki is Kiswahili for taking part.

Good research begins when someone can take part. Our team works to make that possible for every respondent.

One team, through every stage.

  1. Start with the question

    We work with research teams to understand what they need to learn and why.

  2. Design for the field

    We make each step clear on a phone, even when the connection is weak.

  3. Keep evidence in view

    We help teams review how findings connect to the responses behind them.
