Verdict

Bastion Insights is a strong candidate for sophisticated consumer and brand questions that require advanced quant alongside strategic consulting. Its public methods include discrete choice, pricing, product viability, copy testing, tracking, journeys, and segmentation, and the wider agency has 22 Clutch reviews. Because the insights practice sits inside a broader agency, research independence and activation cross-sell should be governed. Ask who owns the sample, model, raw data, and final recommendation.
