Two different jobs
In-house testing is fast and iterative, which is exactly what R&D needs. Independent testing answers a different question: would a third party, with no commercial interest in the outcome, measure the same thing?
Where independent data is used
Retailer and distributor due diligence. Substantiation files for marketing teams. Technical documentation for partners and investors. Internal decisions about which design to take forward.
Designing for evidence
The most useful programmes are specified before a product is finalised, so results feed design decisions rather than arriving too late to change anything.
