What we do

Five ways we measure what people really think

From flagship public indices to bespoke commissions, every study is built on transparent, defensible methodology.

01

Approval & popularity tracking

Recurring index scores for public officials, tracked over time so you see trajectory, not just a snapshot.

02

Social listening & sentiment

Daily monitoring across X, TikTok, Facebook and Instagram — sentiment shifts and story velocity in real time.

03

Election & political research

Voter intention polling, provincial-level breakdowns, and rapid post-event snap polls.

04

Brand & endorsement research

Appeal, trust and controversy-risk scoring to inform celebrity partnerships and sponsorships.

05

Custom market research

CATI/CAPI surveys, focus groups and product testing for corporates, agencies and NGOs.

Why Rapid Index

Opinion moves faster than the research industry has kept up with

Most research firms report on what happened last quarter. We built Rapid Index to close that gap — pairing traditional survey rigor with real-time social data, so our clients see a shift while it's still forming, not after it's already the headline.

We work with newsrooms, political strategists, PR agencies, brand managers and NGOs who need to know not just where public opinion stands, but where it's heading next.

"The gap between a survey closing and a report landing is where most research firms lose relevance. We built the company to close that gap."
