UK statistical consultancy & research training
Statistics help from named, qualified statisticians
Send the data you have already collected. A named statistician runs the analysis, annotates every output, and explains it well enough that you can defend it in a viva or a board meeting. Fixed prices, agreed before any work starts.
| Predictor | β | 95% CI | p |
|---|---|---|---|
| Contact hours | 0.42 | 0.19, 0.65 | .001 |
| Prior attainment | 0.31 | 0.08, 0.54 | .009 |
| Cohort size | −0.06 | −0.28, 0.16 | .594 |
Every result arrives with the reusable syntax, the assumption checks, and a sentence you can defend — not just a number.
ResearchBench is a UK statistical consultancy and research training provider. Five named, qualified statisticians analyse data you have already collected, train researchers and teams in SPSS and NVivo, and explain results so you can defend them in a viva, a board meeting or a funder report.
Two ways in
Whether you are finishing a degree or reporting to a board
You collected the data. You need the analysis to hold up.
- Dissertation and thesis statistics, explained test by test
- SPSS analysis with annotated output and reusable syntax
- Sample size and power calculations your ethics committee will accept
- A statistician's check of the results you have already written
You need a defensible number and someone who will stand behind it.
- Statistical consultancy for charities, universities, the NHS and business
- Survey and questionnaire data turned into board-ready reporting
- NVivo and SPSS training for teams who want to do it themselves
- Invoice and PO friendly, with fixed quotes before work begins
Services
Ten things we do, at published prices
Every service is delivered by email by one of five named statisticians. You approve a fixed quote first; the price agreed is the price paid.
Statistical consultancy
For charities, universities, the NHS and business — design, analysis and reporting you can put in front of a board or a funder.
From £950Dissertation statistics help
Analysis of the data you collected, explained test by test so you can defend every number in a viva.
From £95SPSS data analysis
Annotated SPSS output, reusable syntax and APA-ready tables — with the reasoning behind each test.
From £95NVivo training
One-to-one or team training in NVivo for qualitative data, built around your own project rather than a demo dataset.
Fixed quoteSPSS training
Practical SPSS training for researchers and research teams, with exercises drawn from your own discipline.

From £180Academic CV review
Line-by-line feedback on an academic CV for PhD applications and research posts, from an experienced academic.
£95Qualitative coding
Framework and thematic coding for interviews and open-text survey data, with codebooks and inter-rater checks.
Fixed quoteResults chapter review
A statistician checks the chapter you wrote — right tests, assumptions reported, claims proportionate. Feedback, never a rewrite.
Fixed quoteWho does the work
Five named statisticians, not an anonymous queue
You are told which statistician is assigned to your project before you approve the quote, and you correspond with them directly.
How it works
Three steps, entirely in writing
Send what you have
Attach the dataset, or just describe the project. No account, no mandatory call, and a five-field form rather than a fifteen-field one.
Approve a fixed quote
Usually within one working day, naming the statistician assigned, the deliverables and the deadline. Nothing starts until you say yes.
Receive the analysis
Output, syntax, tables and a plain-English explanation — plus follow-up questions answered at no extra cost.
Free tools
Fourteen calculators, free and without sign-up
Built for researchers who want the answer now. Each one shows its working and gives you a sentence you can paste into your write-up.
Case studies
Ten problems, and the methods that solved them
Real engagements, described by the statistical problem rather than the client. Survival analysis, mixed effects models, factor analysis, multilevel modelling, forecasting, clustering, meta-analysis and GLMMs.
Predicting time to readmission
Cox proportional hazards modelling on five years of healthcare records, where censoring ruled out logistic regression.
HealthcareStudent performance across departments
Multilevel modelling of 8,500 students, where ignoring clustering would have manufactured significance.
EducationMeta-analysis of 45 studies
Random effects synthesis with meta-regression and publication bias testing, underpinning a peer-reviewed paper.
ResearchClient feedback
What clients say about the work
“The statistician explained every test clearly and helped me understand my dissertation results. Everything was completed before my deadline.”
“Fast, accurate SPSS analysis with well-presented output tables. My supervisor was impressed with the quality.”
“Professional statistical consultancy with practical recommendations that helped us make informed business decisions.”
“Great support with power analysis. My ethics application was approved without any questions about methodology.”
“The coding process was systematic and well documented. Themes were clearly identified and supported by the interview data.”
“They cleaned a large dataset quickly and identified several issues that would have affected my analysis.”
What you receive
Six things arrive with every analysis
Not a number in an email. Everything you need to reproduce the result, report it correctly and defend it when someone asks.
Annotated output
Every table labelled, every test named, and a note on why that test was the right one for your design.
Reusable syntax
The SPSS, R or Stata code that produced the result, so you can rerun it, adjust it or hand it to a reviewer.
Assumption checks
Normality, homogeneity, multicollinearity — tested, reported, and flagged if anything needs a caveat in your write-up.
Report-ready tables
Formatted to APA or your journal's house style, ready to paste in without rebuilding them by hand.
A plain-English reading
What the result actually means, written so you can say it out loud in a viva or a board meeting without hedging.
Follow-up answered
Questions after delivery are part of the price. If a supervisor or reviewer pushes back, we help you answer them.
Common questions
Answers before you ask
How much does it cost?
Every engagement is quoted in writing before any work begins, and the quote is fixed. Organisational consultancy starts from £950. Work for individual researchers is priced separately and published in full on the pricing page. Scoping and quotes are free, with no obligation.
How quickly will I get it back?
Most quotes go out within one working day. Turnaround for the analysis itself depends on the dataset, and the deadline is written into the quote before you approve it.
Who will actually do my analysis?
One of the five statisticians named on this page, matched to your method and field. You are told which one before you approve the quote, and you correspond with them directly.
Do I have to get on a call?
No. Quotes and delivery run in writing — by email or through the quote form — so you always have a record of what was asked and what was delivered. If you would rather talk, call +44 141 536 0269 or use the live chat, but neither is required, and nothing decided on a call goes unconfirmed in writing.
What if the analysis does not say what I hoped?
We tell you. A statistician who only ever confirms the hypothesis is no use to you at a viva or a board meeting, and a result that will not survive scrutiny is worse than no result at all.
Will my university be happy with this?
Yes — statistical support is standard practice and permitted at every UK university we have worked with. If your institution asks you to declare the support you received, we will give you a written description of exactly what we did.
