"The team at Little Blue Research provided technical challenge and support: checking our sources, reperforming calculations and actually going beyond to recommend improvements to our model. They clearly have extensive technical expertise in this area and, most importantly, the team really took on board our desire to upskill internally – so now we can use the learnings from this project for future projects too."
