Clients come to Wonder for high-quality research. They trust us to deliver comprehensive and professionally written research reports that they can use to make better decisions faster. As a managed marketplace, Wonder guarantees the quality of the research our Analysts produce. To help you (our Analyst team) deliver on our promise of quality research, we have outlined the Research Requirements below.

Wonder regularly iterates on what “quality research” means to the client. Therefore, standards are regularly updated. These updates are carefully planned, tested, and revised before they are released to the community. Many times, what some analysts do as best practices are so well-received by clients that they become Wonder Standards. These updates are shared with the network via Slack and email. Occasionally, analysts will be required to acknowledge their understanding of the standards.

<aside> 💡 Setting yourself up for success begins with how you spend your first 15 minutes - conducting presearch. Take the time to research definitions. Then carefully dissect the Research Outline. Curiosity starts here! Proper comprehension of keywords and terminology empowers you to understand the subject matter. Dissecting the Research Outline helps you to understand the assignment.
