Research tool
Plan every study from a better starting point.
Research Architect takes your brief and helps you build the research context around it — a checklist of what to gather, desk research done for you, and all your materials organised in one project before the first question is written. Conduct the study anywhere. Bring everything back.
A research tool inside the <un>peel platform. Starter plans give single-tool access. Foundation and above include the full toolset.

From brief to research plan
The gap between receiving a brief and designing a study well is usually a pile of scattered reference material, half-remembered desk research, and context that lives in someone's head. Research Architect closes that gap by working from the brief outward.
Upload the brief and Research Architect generates a structured checklist of the context worth gathering before the design begins — what desk research to look for, what competitive context is relevant, what industry background should inform the study.
- Upload the brief and define the research objective
- Get a structured checklist of desk research, competitive context, and industry materials worth gathering
- Identify context gaps before they become gaps in the study design
Context gathering, done for you
Where the research exists and is retrievable, Research Architect can do the gathering work. Desk research, competitive landscape, industry context — collected and attached to the project rather than left in a browser tab or a folder drive nobody maintains.
That means the team spends preparation time on what actually matters — what do we want to know and how do we design to find out — rather than on hunting and organising reference material.
- Desk research collected and attached to the project
- Competitive context gathered and structured
- Industry analysis surfaced where it is relevant to the brief
Everything in one project before fieldwork starts
When the context is gathered and the design is ready, everything lives in one organised project — not in email threads, shared drives, and folder structures nobody can navigate. Brief, context, instruments, and stimulus all attached to the same record before a single response is collected.
- Brief
- Desk research and competitive context
- Industry analysis
- Discussion guides and survey instruments
- Stimulus and research materials
Conduct anywhere. Bring everything back.
Research Architect is designed to work regardless of where the study is run. If the team needs fieldwork on a different platform, that is fine — Research Architect organises context and materials up front, and results can be imported back into the project afterwards.
That keeps the full project record — brief, context, instruments, and outputs — in one place, so Insight Navigator can work with everything the study produced rather than a partial export.
Where Research Architect ends and Research Guard begins
Once the context is in place and the study design is drafted, Research Guard picks up — reviewing the questionnaire before launch so methodological problems are caught while they are still cheap to fix.
