"Our relationship with Grail Research is very productive for T.H. Lee. The Grail Research team is insightful, efficient and very easy to work with. They think and operate on our level and are quick to understand our needs, flexible about accommodating scope changes and able to turn around deliverables rapidly (many times overnight). Grail Research recently played a critical role in a high profile deal by delivering market data on a timeline that no other consulting firm or research partner considered feasible. The results from the work they have performed for us – both during diligence and in support of our portfolio organizations – have enabled us to make better strategic decisions. We have and will continue to recommend Grail Research to our partners and portfolio companies."

"We called on Grail Research to help with the expansion of one of our portfolio companies. What was ideal about Grail was that they provided extremely specific details (e.g.: which companies and which people we could target) without the transaction cost (time and money) of a large consulting engagement. In a little over a week we had everything we needed in a very concise format. This is exactly the kind of support we want to provide to our portfolio companies: fast, actionable and cost-effective."

"Grail brought their considerable research experience to bear and helped us move quickly from goal setting to an actionable project plan. The clarity of roles and expectations across organizations was exceptional and really helped us to work as partners with Grail rather than simply as consumers.
The quality of work provided by Grail, from project scoping to final deliverable, exceeded our expectations. The engagement team was accessible, knowledgeable and extremely adaptable as insights gained led us into new areas for investigation.
Working with Grail is not a marathon, it is a series of sprints. Grail’s velocity and ability to modulate their efforts to suit our rhythm allowed the project to move rapidly while allowing time for review, insight and iteration between each "sprint". This engagement style allowed Grail to maximize their impact on a project of short duration."

"As a General Partner in a private equity firm, I am often faced with very short deadlines to make significant capital decisions. Grail Research was highly flexible during the project to adjust their work plan from 3 weeks to just over 2 weeks due to our negotiations with the target company. In this timeframe, they provided us excellent research including surveying over 800 customers that yielded very essential insight to support our investment decision. We’d readily call Grail again when facing our next investment decision."

"I had an outstanding experience with Grail Research. As a former strategy consultant, I am quite familiar with expecting high quality research on deadline. My project had tight deadlines and required a lot of primary research. The Grail Research team rose to the challenge and delivered results that met and exceeded my expectations on rigor, quality and professionalism. Overall, I was very pleased and would use them again."
