Scoutr replaces the work where an agency would have charged five thousand dollars to scrape Reddit, run a sentiment model, and synthesise a deck. It does not replace the work where you need conjoint analysis, Van Westendorp pricing rigour, or a properly recruited n=400 quantitative panel for a board decision. For that, hire the right firm.
It also does not run ethnographic research. In-home interviews, diary studies, observational fieldwork — public data doesn't capture behaviour, only commentary. If you need behavioural ground truth, you need primary qualitative work alongside Scoutr.
What it is: the workbench between those poles. The tool that handles the eighty percent of analyst questions that need a fast, well-cited, directionally-correct answer. So the senior analyst can spend their week on the twenty percent that need something more.
