“So polish can backfire in two directions: It can make good work look suspect, and it can make shaky work look trustworthy.”

Amanda hosts Sprig's leadership dinners for research and insights leaders, including in Los Angeles, and writes about what she hears around those tables. She also leads sessions in Sprig's Applied Research Series, including how multi-agent workflows can cross-reference data sources with every claim linked back to the evidence.
