Learn how Shed Research uses AddMaple to transform large-scale survey analysis and unlock deeper insights from open-ended responses.
Shed Research Consulting, founded by Dan Young in 2011, specializes in insight synthesis - helping organizations make more of the research they already have. This includes synthesizing existing data, re-examining raw data, and triangulating all available business knowledge on specific topics.

Shed Research faced several critical challenges in their data analysis workflow:
- Processing and analyzing massive datasets with 40,000+ survey responses
