ABOUT CLR
Civic Lens Research organizes paid online discussions about real-world workplace situations and disputes. Participants hear a neutral presentation of the facts, answer questions, and discuss their reactions with a small group of other adults.
There are no right or wrong answers. We want to understand what ordinary people genuinely think. No legal training, professional expertise, or prior focus-group experience is required.
Our goal is simple: to understand what people genuinely notice, question, believe, and care about. We value candid reactions, differing viewpoints, careful listening, and respectful conversation.
