How it works

Messy data in. Structured study data out.

Three steps take the exports your client actually sends and turn them into a normalized dataset your team can run a study on.

01
Connect

Drop in whatever your client sent

Start with the raw exports that land in your inbox — payroll runs, wage records, time-tracking exports, project logs. No templates to fill out, no fields to pre-map, no asking the client to reformat anything.

  • Upload CSV, XLSX, and PDF files directly
  • Mixed formats and layouts from every client, side by side
  • Files from Gusto, Rippling, ADP, Harvest, Toggl, Jira, Linear, QuickBooks and more
02
Normalize

AI parses and maps — your team reviews

Data Wrangler reads each file, identifies the columns that matter, and maps them into a consistent structure. It reconciles employees across sources, aligns hours to projects, and flags the gaps that need a human decision — so nothing gets silently guessed.

  • Automatic field detection and column mapping
  • Cross-source matching and de-duplication of employees
  • Gaps and low-confidence matches flagged for expert review
03
Export

Get a study-ready dataset out

The result is a clean, consistent dataset built around the fields an R&D study actually needs: employee wages, project allocation, and time by business component. Export it and drop it straight into your existing study workflow.

  • One consistent schema across every client
  • CSV and JSON exports
  • Wages, allocations, and time mapped to business components

Human expertise, AI assistance

The AI does the tedious first pass — parsing, mapping, and matching thousands of rows in minutes. Your team stays in control of every judgment call, reviewing flagged gaps instead of starting from a blank spreadsheet. That is the difference between automation you can trust and a black box.
