HiI work for a company that produces sector specific research, and we are looking at selling this into the trading communityThe conversations are developed and a request has come back to "prove the value" of the research, i.e. a case study demonstrating correlations.If you're interested in helping write a white paper, then please message meUnfortunately this will be unpaid, but we should be able to cover expenses.Tom

Can you give some more details about the research you do and in what sector? Are you a scientific institution? Also, are you trying to sell your services or some mathematical/numerical framework?

So you want someone to write a white paper for free which proves the value of your research? That would surely be immensely valuable to you? Why wouldn't you be willing to pay for it?

It's a business model based on the sharing economy.

If we are done questioning the wisdom of the business model, we could turn our attention to the subject matter he wants explored to prove the value of their (?) research: "a case study demonstrating correlations".

I am wondering how can external researchers weigh in a snap the value of your in-house research? And does it imply you will open the black-box to the first one?

(especially that I've seen such things happen before)
