Your step-by-step path through GigaOm ResearchOS

There’s no password to create. Enter your work email and you’ll get a one-time sign-in link — that’s it. As you type your company name, ResearchOS checks whether it already knows your company, so you’re routed the right way automatically.

• New company: you create the first account for your organization.
• Existing company: you submit a join request against the record that’s already there, instead of starting from scratch.
• Invited by an analyst: you simply accept the invitation that’s waiting for you.

This is the first thing you see after signing in — your action center. It pulls together everything outstanding across every Radar you’re part of, so nothing gets missed because a deadline was buried in an email.

• Action Items: pending questionnaires and open fact-check rounds, each with an urgency indicator and a deadline countdown.
• Your Radars: every Radar you participate in and its current status.
• My Products: the product records tied to your company.
• Recent Notifications: fact-check requests, deadline reminders, and status changes — also sent by email so you’re reached even when you’re not signed in.

Opening one of your Radars is where you do the actual work for that piece of research: see the timeline, answer questionnaires, and talk to the analyst running it.

• Timeline: start date, target publish date, and where the Radar currently sits in GigaOm’s pipeline.
• Questionnaires: structured, analyst-built forms — you can save your progress and come back before the deadline.
• Messages: a dedicated, threaded conversation with the analyst for this specific Radar.
• Report Content: the full report as it’s being written. The watermark shows the company name plus the viewer’s email address, so it stays traceable if it’s shared.

Before scoring even starts, GigaOm checks whether your product clears the minimum bar for the market — these baseline checks are called criteria (also referred to as “primitives”). This page shows every check, whether you passed, and how confident the assessment is.

• Each check shows its definition and rationale, a pass / fail / borderline verdict, a confidence score, and the reasoning behind it.
• You can submit evidence to support or strengthen a borderline finding.
• If you’re excluded for missing a criteria item, you’ll see an exclusion notice and can appeal directly through your Radar’s Messages thread.

The bar rises as the Radar nears publication — a borderline pass early on may need stronger evidence to still hold by Final.

Once scoring is underway, you can see exactly how you scored — not just the headline numbers, but the reasoning behind each one.

• Headline scores: your results across Green Money, Brown Money, and GRCS, plus a weighted total and a Velocity label (see Terms & Definitions).
• Score Breakdown: for every individual criterion — your score, the rubric it was measured against, and an AI-written narrative explaining the result.
• Criteria table: what each criterion measures, which bucket it belongs to, how heavily it’s weighted, and how it’s evaluated.

Before anything publishes, you get two structured rounds to review GigaOm’s findings and push back with evidence on anything you believe is wrong.

Round 2 refreshes automatically every 30 seconds while it’s open, so you always see the latest state.

Once research wraps, the relationship doesn’t end — GigaOm turns the research into additional products you can license, and gives you a place to keep your own evidence on file.

• Derivatives: preview summaries of your own Battle Card and SVPA; upgrade to see the full versions.
• Licensing: request rights to the Radar Report, your Battle Card, a CxO Brief, or another derivative, and track the request from Submitted through to Converted.
• Documents: upload and categorize supporting evidence tied to a Radar or product, and see whether GigaOm has accepted it into the evidence base.
