TMRE 2025 – From Support to Strategy: Building an Insights Function Leaders Can’t Ignore

What does it take to build an insights function that leaders can’t ignore? In this session, Jeff Dahms of Physicians Mutual shares how he transformed research from a “nice-to-have” into a critical business driver—embedding insights into go-to-market plans, creating continuous customer feedback loops, and building organizational confidence in decision-making. 

Why Qual Researchers Still Choose Between Depth and Scale, and Why They Don’t Have To 

Qual Research Tradeoff

For years, qualitative research has lived with an uncomfortable tension. Teams either invest in deep one-to-one conversations that reveal the nuance behind human decisions, or they turn to high-volume methods that reach more people but flatten the richness of what they learn. Most organizations still treat this as a permanent constraint. You get depth, or you get […]

Hallucinations in AI: Why Research Leaders Need to Prioritize Trust 

As we all know by now, artificial intelligence is changing the way insight teams operate. From automating qualitative analysis to accelerating reporting, large language models (LLMs) are reshaping workflows quickly. But AI doesn’t always get it right. Sometimes it makes things up. These “hallucinations” are not something to ignore. They turn into systemic risks that can erode credibility and derail decision-making.  When AI Guesses, […]

The State of Hallucinations in AI-Driven Insights

The rise of large language models (LLMs) is transforming how research teams generate insights. But with that transformation comes a foundational risk: hallucinations – when AI outputs sound accurate but are actually fabricated, misleading, or unverified.  This white paper explores:  The goal is not to reject AI, but to embed it responsibly. As enterprises move […]

Beyond ChatGPT: Why Research Needs Purpose-Built AI 

The rapid rise of general-purpose AI tools like ChatGPT has transformed how businesses explore information, ideate, and communicate. These tools are fast, flexible, and convenient. But for high-stakes, enterprise-grade research? They fall short.  When the goal is to inform product launches, guide strategy, or support C-level decision-making, surface-level AI outputs simply aren’t good enough. You […]

Enterprise-Grade Personalization in AI Research 

The conversation around AI in research has been dominated by speed. The promise is compelling: move from business question to actionable insight in minutes instead of weeks. But for enterprise research teams, speed alone is not the benchmark for success. Quality, consistency, and strategic alignment matter just as much, and often more.  That’s where enterprise-grade […]

The New Standard for Enterprise Research: Speed, Accuracy, and AI at Scale 

Enterprise decision-making moves fast, but traditional research methods can’t keep up. Weeks-long timelines, manual processes, and fragmented tools slow down teams when speed and accuracy are critical. Fuel Cycle Autonomous Insights (FC AI) changes this equation by embedding AI into the heart of the research process, without sacrificing rigor or control.  An FC AI Overview  […]
