I am confused. As marketers, surely you are familiar with the old adage "you get what you pay for." I feel this applies directly in outsourcing -- skilled labour does not come cheap.
How can you be confident in results for such large data research pulls (which take time) when effectively scraping the bottom of the barrel of freelancers with such insultingly low outsourcing budgets?
Furthermore, I don't particularly agree with the assertion that you can fully decouple the research process from domain expertise. Should a problem arise, understanding of the project, background, and goals is key to deciding a course of action, especially if you're outsourcing some analytics.
