OUR MISSION
"Our [internal] team is very difficult to please, and you managed to win most of them over at the kickoff meeting."
Armature's overriding goal is to produce actionable research that goes beyond expectations and reveals truths about the reality of the market. Whether your focus is HCPs, Patients, or Caregivers, we find you better answers with deeper roots in data.
We customize our approach to each challenge we encounter. We come to the table without preconceptions and use the best methods to tackle the situation. If we don't have the "best methods" on hand, we build them for you.
In short, we use best practices not as a crutch, but as a springboard into the best possible work. We listen. We ask questions. We listen some more. And we are always thinking about how to deliver more.
Our Focus Is You.
Not Us.
For many companies, self-promotion is bred deep in the bone. They have growth targets, acquisition plans, and "strategic alliances" to trumpet. They hire staff to spread word of their greatness, assuring you their employees are the best in the business (and beloved by all).
In 2014, the founders of Armature set out to build a company without the goal of becoming an empire. In their combined 30 years of healthcare market research (now it's 40+), they had worked for five different companies that changed owners--from fairly small hands into much larger ones. Each acquisition was hailed as the birth of something wonderful by the acquirers. And each time,
quality died a "death of a thousand cuts."
One of the gifts in partnering with a smaller firm like Armature is that we are building our reputation. We can't coast on global awareness or our name or sidestep quality because quarterly revenue numbers are looming. We have to strive for excellence as defined by you. Every time.
"Another company could not improve on this."

We design our studies to deliver value long after the research is over.
When it comes to our work, the Armature team has a wonderful tendency to obsess. Over study design. Over data analysis. Over objectives. And we really obsess when creating a presentation of findings for your team--it's just our nature.
Most of this obsessing happens out of sight for our clients. What you see are focused, intelligible research reports that arrive with firm roots in primary data.
We coordinate with you in advance to ensure that we have a coherent and actionable "story" to share with your internal clients. Whenever we can, we
like to show up and present our work in person.
Strong opinions don't scare us. We don't wilt if a difficult decision needs to be made about methodology, objectives, sample. We give it to you straight.
You hire us to show you the best possible path, and we can usually show you a few, along with the tradeoffs involved for each.
The end goal of our research is your total satisfaction, if not complete delight.
We aim for delight.
