What you're facing

If any of these sound familiar, you're in the right place.


Most product teams aren't short on data. They're short on the time, structure, and methodology to read it. These are the strategic questions we help leaders answer.

?
Why is conversion stalling at the same step?

Drop-offs aren't a data problem — they're a context problem. We surface where friction kills momentum and what's actually causing it, so you fix what moves the metric.

?
What do users actually need — beyond what they say?

Stated needs ≠ real needs. We use mixed-method research to bridge what users say, what they do, and what they really mean — so you build for the gap that matters.

?
Which bets will move the metrics that matter?

Roadmaps shouldn't be auctions of opinions. We help product leaders prioritise the work backed by evidence — not the loudest voice in the room.

?
How do we make research repeatable, not heroic?

Insight that lives in one researcher's head doesn't scale. We build the systems — panels, repositories, playbooks — that turn research into operating habit.

What we do

Full-cycle research.
Zero guesswork.

Six services, one shared goal: making sure your product decisions are grounded in real user evidence, not assumption.

01
UX Research

Mixed-method research — qualitative depth, quantitative rigor — that surfaces what users think, need, and expect, not just what they say in surveys.

  • In-depth user interviews
  • Usability + concept studies
  • Diary studies + ethnography
  • Quantitative surveys + behavioral analytics
02
Strategy & Consulting

We embed research into your product cycle — turning it from a support function into a core operating system for product, design, and exec decisions.

  • Research strategy + roadmaps
  • Stakeholder & exec workshops
  • Insight-to-action frameworks
  • Org-level research enablement
03
Web Dev & Design

From design direction to deployed website. We translate research insight into production-ready digital experiences — handling design, development, and launch end-to-end.

  • Web design + UX audits
  • Wireframes, prototypes & visual design
  • Squarespace, Webflow & custom builds
  • Conversion-focused landing pages
04
Usability Testing

We test ideas, prototypes, and live flows before you invest in scale — de-risking your roadmap and accelerating shipping confidence.

  • Moderated + unmoderated testing
  • Prototype + concept validation
  • A/B + multivariate evaluation
  • Accessibility testing
05
Research Ops

Build the infrastructure your team needs to run research continuously — panels, repositories, playbooks, training. Insight as a system, not a project.

  • Participant panel set-up
  • Tooling + repository design
  • Process + playbook development
  • Internal team training
06
CX & Service Design

End-to-end mapping and redesign of customer journeys — reducing friction, churn, and the emotional cost of being your customer.

  • Customer journey mapping
  • Service blueprinting
  • Cross-channel friction audits
  • Experience-led redesigns
Our toolkit

Methods that match the question.


We don't pick methods because they're trendy. We pick them because they answer the question you actually have. Eight of the methods we use most.

01
In-depth interviews
Best for

Surfacing motivations, mental models, and the why behind behavior at depth.

02
Diary studies
Best for

Longitudinal behavior — capturing how needs and friction shift over time.

03
Usability testing
Best for

Validating flows, prototypes, and navigation against real-task performance.

04
Card sorts & tree tests
Best for

Information architecture decisions backed by how users actually group concepts.

05
Quantitative surveys
Best for

Statistical confidence at scale — sizing audiences and validating segments.

06
A/B & multivariate testing
Best for

Confirming what already works and quantifying lift before you commit at scale.

07
Heuristic evaluation
Best for

Fast, expert UX audits before you commit to a redesign or invest in research.

08
Service blueprinting
Best for

Cross-channel and operational decisions — aligning front-stage UX with back-stage process.

What you get

We don't ship reports.
We ship decisions.


Every engagement ends with artefacts your team can act on the same week — not 60-page PDFs that sit in a Drive folder.

01
Decision-ready insight memos

5 pages max. Plain language. Recommendation-led. Built so a busy product lead can read it once and act on it the same day.

02
Prioritised recommendation roadmaps

Linked to your roadmap, not just our research questions. Effort-vs-impact framed so prioritisation conversations end faster.

03
Live debrief workshops

Findings presented to your team in the room — with structured time to align on what changes Monday morning.

04
Searchable research repositories

All evidence tagged, searchable, and reusable — long after we're gone. So insight compounds across projects instead of expiring with each one.

Why SignalHaus

Three ways to do research.
One that actually moves products.


Most teams default to in-house generalists or rotating freelancers. Here's how we compare on the things that actually matter.

Common questions

What buyers usually ask first.

How long does a typical project take?
Most focused engagements run 4–8 weeks from kick-off to debrief. Embedded retainers run 12+ weeks and scale based on your roadmap cadence. Heuristic audits and rapid usability sprints can run as short as 1–2 weeks.
Who's actually on the project team?
A senior researcher leads every engagement — no junior hand-offs, no account managers between you and the work. For larger studies we add a research associate; for strategy work, a research strategist.
Do you work with non-Dutch teams?
Yes. Most of our work is in English with EU and global product teams. We've run studies across NL, UK, DACH, Nordics, and the US — including multi-market studies in 6+ languages.
Can you embed for longer engagements?
Yes — we offer monthly retainers for product teams that need ongoing research capacity. Typical embedded engagements run 1–4 days/week alongside your existing team and roadmap.
Do you sign NDAs and DPAs?
Standard. We work with regulated industries (fintech, govtech, healthcare) and are fully GDPR-compliant. Mutual NDAs and DPAs are part of every engagement.
What's a typical project budget?
Engagements range from €15k for focused studies to €120k+ for multi-quarter embedded work. We scope every project against your timeline and decision urgency — and tell you upfront if research isn't the right answer.
