WHAT IT IS
HUT captures feedback in the participant’s own environment, over multiple occasions. That is how you find out whether a product survives the school run, the shared fridge, the third wash, the fourth day. It is the best route when you need to understand repeat use, convenience, preparation behaviour and real-life performance over time. HUT is logistically demanding. Products need to be stored, packaged and shipped safely. Instructions need to be clear. Completion rates need to be actively managed, not just hoped for. We handle fulfilment, tracking, participant support and proactive engagement throughout the trial period, so dropout stays low and the data stays robust.

Artisan baristas. Commercial-grade machines. A CLT that tasted like a real cafe.
A premium coffee brand needed a CLT that replicated the authentic cafe experience, not just the product.
Why clients choose us for HUT
HUT projects fail for one reason more than any other: dropout. Participants sign up, receive the product, use it once and then go quiet. Completion rates collapse and the data set shrinks below the threshold for useful analysis. We solve this with proactive engagement, clear communication and incentive structures designed to reward completion. Our HUT completion rates are consistently strong because we treat participant management as an active discipline, not a passive hope.
