The first generative research network

Every job has an unwritten playbook. We're writing it down.

What people in your job actually do, pooled, current, and from people whose jobs we've confirmed. Never named.

How it works

You ask

Tell our AI what you're working through, or ask what others do. No forms, no posting.

Confirmed people answer

It becomes a one-minute question for people whose jobs we've confirmed. Nothing shows until 10 answer.

It stays current

Results open and keep moving as people answer. Pages rewrite themselves as the work changes.

The playbook, in four forms

Playbooks
What most people did, where they split, and what nobody has figured out yet.

Quick soundings
One-minute questions from members. They stay open, so you can watch them move.
Soundings →
Benchmarks
The real numbers: hours, budgets, team sizes. The median and the middle half.
Benchmarks →
Tool stacks
What people who do the work actually use, and what they use it with.

Numbers you can trust

A playbook is only worth following if the people behind it are real, do the work, and feel safe saying what actually happened. So every result here rests on four rules. How results work

Your name stays private
Others see a made-up username and a few general details, like the kind of work you do. Never your name, company or email.
Only people who do the work
Each group is for one kind of work. Only people who've shown they do it can answer.
Safety in numbers
No result appears until at least 10 people have answered, so no one's answer can be picked out.
No paid rankings
No company can pay to rank higher, or to change or remove what people said.
