An introduction to what the Repository is, why it matters, and how to start using it.
What is the Repository?
The Repository is the central hub in Great Question where all your research data lives. It brings together:
Think of it as your research library: a single place to search, store, and share findings across your team.
Why the Repository matters
Building out a research repository is critical for several reasons:
- Democratize access: Make research insights available across your team or organization
- Centralize findings: Reduce silos and ensure everyone can find and reuse insights
- Streamline tools: Replace scattered docs and spreadsheets with one searchable source of truth
- Preserve institutional knowledge: Keep research accessible beyond a single project or person
Repository use cases
Here’s how different roles use the Repository:
- Researchers: Upload interview recordings, tag highlights, and synthesize insights
- Product managers: Browse existing insights before planning a new feature
- Executives: Review reels or summary reports to understand customer pain points
- Designers: Search by tag or keyword to find clips that illustrate user behaviors
