Methodology

Every way to run online research

Online communities are a flexible family of approaches, shaped to almost any objective, duration, scale, or budget.

Pre and post tasks

A short-burst asynchronous environment that runs alongside a live event. Participants arrive informed, and follow-up tasks answer the questions that surface in the debrief.

Best for

Priming before focus groups, post-group follow-up, in-home missions, and interview preparation.

Pop-up communities

A defined start, end, and objective, from 24-hour sprints to month-long studies. Qualitative depth without traditional fieldwork timelines.

Best for

Rapid concept testing, brand and category exploration, quick-turn qual, and agile product feedback.

AI-moderated communities

incAI moderates across all task types in 30+ languages, around the clock. You brief it, review its probes, and override at any point.

Best for

Large-scale studies, time-zone spanning panels, multi-market research at speed, and lean-team studies.

Long-term communities and panels

A standing insight asset over months or years, from a group of 50 specialists to a panel of several thousand, without recruiting every time.

Best for

Customer advisory panels, brand and product tracking, ongoing agency panels, and employee communities.

Online research hub

A permanent home and a package of research days, with no restrictions on how you use them across projects, markets, and languages.

Best for

Agencies with client portfolios, in-house insight teams, multi-market programmes, and always-on plus periodic work.

Video focus groups and interviews

Live qualitative research inside the community, automatically recorded, transcribed, and translated, with a virtual backroom for observers.

Best for

Hybrid research design, validation and follow-up, global live research, and creative testing.

Multi-market research

Any incling community run across more than one market at once, in 30+ languages, monitored from a single hub with automatic translation.

Best for

Global brand and positioning research, cultural localisation, multi-market NPD, and sensitive topics across cultures.
