Professional Research is a research methods and data analysis service aimed at researchers. Rather than being a traditional course platform, it focuses on AI-assisted research analysis, methodology consulting, and hourly training provided by Alex Duve. The page emphasizes support for qualitative, quantitative, mixed-methods, and data mining projects, making it especially relevant for interview data, theses, dissertations, and research reports.
Its main selling point is using a proprietary AI technology stack to shorten the analysis cycle: RAPTOR is used for semantic hierarchy building, GraphRAG maps relationships among respondents, concepts, and evidence, two models perform adversarial validation, and every finding is traced back to original quotations. The text does not provide a schedule for live or recorded classes; it only mentions hourly training, WhatsApp communication, and monthly follow-up calls. As such, it is closer to one-on-one research consulting/training than a standardized course.
The instructor profile is relatively detailed: Alex Duve is described as a researcher, methodology expert, and consultant, with a Doctorate in Education and two postdoctoral positions in methodology. He is also an official ATLAS.ti Trainer. The page lists 15 years of experience, 500+ researchers supported, 14+ countries, 9 DOI/ISBN publications, and teaching roles at 4 universities. Based on the page, the service language appears to be Spanish. As for certificates, it does not state whether participants receive any certification or completion certificate after training.
Pricing is transparent but high: the Basic plan is $2,500, the Pro plan is $5,500, and the Premium plan is $9,500. Hourly training starts from $100, and processing starts from $150. The packages specify the number of interviews, report length, delivery timeline, and revision rounds, making them suitable for project-based procurement. For support, WhatsApp contact is provided, with a stated response time of within 24 business hours. However, payment methods, refund policy, and contract details are not specified.
The strengths are a clear methodological workflow, well-defined deliverables, an emphasis on traceability, and processing on private servers. It may be valuable for masterβs or doctoral students and institutional researchers who are working against thesis deadlines or need to process interview materials quickly. The drawbacks are its high price, limited course-like structure, the need for Chinese users to communicate across languages, and the fact that whether AI-assisted analysis is accepted by supervisors or journals still depends on the rules of each institution or publication.
The text does not provide information about access, payment, or network availability from mainland China, and communication mainly relies on WhatsApp, so Chinese users may face uncertainty around connectivity and cross-border payments. Alternatives include official or local training for ATLAS.ti/MAXQDA/NVivo, research methods courses at Chinese universities, and Chinese-language qualitative research consulting services.
