Research firm
Turning decades of research into a new "knowledge as a service" revenue line.
We helped a research firm package their proprietary knowledge into an AI-powered product their clients can query on demand. A new revenue stream built on expertise they already had.
The challenge
A research firm had decades of proprietary reports, analyses, and datasets. Clients paid for individual reports, but most of the knowledge sat unused. They wanted to monetize their archive without hiring more analysts.
Our solution
We built an AI-powered platform that lets clients query the firm's entire knowledge base through natural language. The system synthesizes answers from multiple sources, cites its references, and respects access tiers based on the client's subscription level.
The result
The firm launched "knowledge as a service" as a new product line. Within six months, it accounted for 20% of new revenue. Clients get instant answers instead of waiting for custom reports.
Project Overview
A research firm was sitting on decades of valuable knowledge locked in PDF reports. We helped them turn that archive into a self-serve AI product that generates recurring revenue and delivers more value to their clients.
