- Maturity assessments
- Diagnostic scans
- Client reporting
- Assessment-driven advisory services
Typical Consultant Challenges

- Delivering consistent client feedback
- Preserving methodology while growing the business
How to start
What makes an advisory programme scalable?
The research design should reflect your objectives, participant value, confidentiality requirements and available capacity.
Automate repeatable work
Reduce recurring work in data collection, validation, calculations, dashboards and personalised reporting.
Keep professional judgement where it belongs
Not every part of an advisory process should be automated. Configure what is repeatable and keep judgement with the expert.
From manual method to repeatable service
Many advisory processes contain both specialist work and repetitive work. Specialist work may include choosing the right indicators, understanding context, interpreting results and advising the client. Repetitive work may include sending questionnaires, checking whether data are complete, applying calculations, producing charts, assembling reports and distributing outputs.
Digitising the second category can leave more room for the first. The practical question is therefore not 'Can we automate our consultancy?' but 'Which parts of our research process should not require a consultant to repeat the same manual steps every time?'
Solutions for you
How to research?
Benchmarking industries and clients
Benchmarking programmes help clients understand how they compare with relevant peers while providing consultants with a repeatable advisory framework.
Typical outputs
- Benchmark reports
- Peer comparisons
- Client dashboards
- Trend analysis
Assessments with feedback
Translate your methodology into a repeatable assessment that automatically delivers structured feedback and recommendations.
Typical outputs
- Maturity assessments
- Readiness scans
- Advisory input
Testimonials
Different applications. One principle.
Rödl and Pastoor use the platform very differently. Rödl uses it for data-intensive recurring benchmarks in specialist infrastructure sectors. Pastoor uses it for individual communication assessments.
Rödl: specialist benchmarking operated by the consultant
Rödl uses the Survey Tool to operate specialist benchmarking programmes in district heating and water supply.
Rödl owns the methodology, analysis and client relationships. Compare to Compete provides the benchmarking infrastructure.
Pastoor: turning a communication methodology into automated assessments
Pastoor transformed its communication methodology into online assessments that automatically generate participant profiles and personalised reports.
Pastoor remains responsible for the methodology and interpretation. C2C provides the assessment infrastructure.
Our technology supports you
What the Survey Tool can support
Questionnaires and imports
Collect structured client or participant data through configured questionnaires or agreed data imports.
Validation
Apply rules and checks that support consistent input before analysis.
Calculations
Translate your methodology into configured formulas, scores, indicators or profiles.
Benchmarking
Compare participants with agreed reference groups or other points of comparison.
Dashboards
Provide individual or aggregated insight through configured dashboards.
Automated reports
Generate personalised benchmark or assessment reports from the same underlying data.
Conditional content
Show different text, feedback or recommendations based on configured results.
Recurring workflows
Support invitations, reminders, repeated research periods and delivery of outputs.
Choose your preferred operating model
Use the platform yourself
Manage the programme independently.
Work together with C2C
Share responsibilities between your team and ours.
Let C2C support the recurring process
Keep ownership of the methodology while outsourcing selected operational activities.

Frequently asked questions
Can we use our own benchmark or assessment methodology?
Yes. The proposition is specifically designed to allow consultants and advisors to retain their substantive methodology. C2C configures the technology around the structured parts of that method, subject to technical feasibility.
Can we manage the platform ourselves?
Yes. Customers can manage substantial parts of questionnaires, calculations, dashboards, reports and recurring studies themselves once the environment is configured. C2C can provide support where needed.
Can we automate client reporting?
Yes. Reports can use participant data, calculations, comparisons, charts and conditional content to generate individual outputs automatically.
Can we benchmark clients against peer groups?
Yes, where the methodology and available data support meaningful reference groups. The consultant determines the substantive basis for those comparisons.
Can the platform support assessments without benchmarking?
Yes. Assessments can calculate scores, profiles or categories and return personalised feedback without comparing respondents with peers.
Can the platform use our branding?
The environment and outputs can be configured to support customer-branded research. The exact branding possibilities should be confirmed for the intended implementation rather than assumed.
We help you assess
Considering a benchmark or research programme?
Tell us:
- what expertise you want to scale
