Develop an academic study
Refine your questions, strengthen your methods and communicate your own research with clarity.
LOI / RESEARCH CONSULTANCY
Research consultancy
Develop your research idea into a clear question, a credible plan and evidence you can use. Consultancy and collaboration across AI, computer science and related domains.
Give your research a clear direction.
Whether you are developing an academic study, preparing a funding application or investigating a product idea, LOI helps you define the work and decide how to approach it. We support researchers, students, organisations and industry teams through consultation, collaboration and agreed research commissions.
Prepare for funding
Identify relevant opportunities and develop a proposal that connects your objectives, methods and expected contribution.
Investigate an idea or product
Explore technical feasibility, compare approaches and gather evidence to inform development decisions.
How we can help
Focused support at each stage, from an early question to a developed research programme.
Research questions & planning
Turn an initial interest into focused questions and achievable objectives. Define the scope, select methods and plan experiments, data collection and analysis.
Funding opportunities
Identify potentially suitable grants and research calls. Review eligibility, fit, deadlines and application requirements to help you prioritise where to apply.
Proposal development guidance
Shape a coherent proposal with a clear rationale, methodology, work plan, resource needs and expected impact. Receive feedback against the funder’s requirements.
Academic writing guidance
Receive mentoring and feedback on structure, argument, citation and presentation of findings. Develop your own writing while retaining authorship and responsibility for your work.
Product & industry research
Commission research into an idea, technical challenge or product. We can review existing evidence, compare methods, build experimental prototypes and evaluate results against an agreed brief.
Research development & collaboration
Strengthen an ongoing study, interpret results and identify the next questions. Collaborate on experiments, evaluation and further investigation with clearly defined contributions.
From question to evidence
A shared understanding of the goal, the work and each person’s contribution.
Share your research goal
Tell us your topic, current stage and the decision or question you want to address.
Define the approach
Discuss the research gap, suitable methods, available resources and any funding or ethics requirements.
Agree the work
Set the scope, deliverables, responsibilities, timeline and cost, including how contributions will be acknowledged.
Investigate & refine
Work through the agreed consultation or research activities, review the evidence and plan the next stage.
Research with integrity
Our approach centres on honest reporting, appropriate attribution and transparent methods. We help you consider data permissions, privacy and relevant ethical or institutional requirements when planning the work.
Academic support builds your own research and writing skills. For commissioned research, we agree the deliverables, ownership and acknowledgement of contributions at the outset. Findings are reported with their limitations and supporting evidence.
Where would you like to take your research?
Share your topic or idea, what you have explored so far and the support you need. An early concept is enough to start a conversation.
If you are considering funding, include the opportunity or deadline where known. For product or industry research, tell us what you need to learn and how the findings will inform your next decision.
