Review starting point: Teams building a durable qualitative evidence repository; Research operations groups that need structured reuse; Organizations willing to define taxonomy and ownership
Run the same representative work you would use in production; do not score a polished demo.
Review starting point: Complete three to five representative tasks with known acceptable outcomes and compare them with your current process.
Calculate the effective cost per accepted result, including usage, review, corrections, and required add-ons.
Review starting point: Condens listed Lite from €15 monthly, Business from €500 monthly paid yearly, and custom Enterprise pricing when checked October 3, 2026. Seats, repositories, AI access, anonymization, SSO, and retention vary by plan.
Define an acceptance threshold, test known answers and edge cases, and record every correction.
Review starting point: Editorial quality signals: features 0.0/5. Validate these signals in your own work.
Verify what data enters the product, who can access it, how long it is retained, and whether it trains models.
Review starting point: Use approved low-risk data first. Check roles, consent, deletion, subprocessors, model-training settings, and the contract—not only the marketing page.
Test the real handoffs, permissions, failure states, and export path your team depends on.
Review starting point: Slack, Microsoft Teams, ChatGPT, Claude
Record training, governance, reliability, accessibility, ownership, and change-management risks before rollout.
Review starting point: The jump from individual analysis to organization-wide repository features is substantial; Important governance controls are plan-dependent; AI answers can make weak taxonomy or stale evidence look authoritative

No. AI can accelerate retrieval, organization, and first-pass analysis, but an accountable person must verify evidence, context, permissions, and the final decision.
Measure source accuracy, correction time, missed counterevidence, permission behavior, export quality, and cost per accepted deliverable—not output volume.
Only data covered by the participant notice, contract, organizational policy, and vendor terms. Remove unnecessary identifiers and keep the original evidence outside the model workflow.
Keep the source manifest, prompt and model record, output, reviewer corrections, approval decision, and deletion or retention record.
