]]> Tailored Research https://nerdgirl.net/shop/tailored-research/ Tue, 02 Dec 2025 20:54:19 +0000 https://nerdgirl.net/?post_type=product&p=2647 Gen AI is failing you. 

No list of reliable sources, hallucinations, time spent creating prompts that don’t work, and getting back incorrect information is more hassle than its worth.

That’s why you need to hire a librarian to do the research for you.

Why?

  • I am a librarian by profession and education, so research is my jam
  • I have access to nearly 100 vetted and peer-reviewed databases and resources at my disposal that go beyond just searching the internet, Wikipedia, and Gen AI
  • I can provide sources for all my results that you can refer to as well as other sources for further study
  • I save you time, energy, and frustration
  • I provide a critical eye to sources available to make sure what you receive is credible, current, factual, relevant, and reliable

Common questions

  • Is there a refund if you don’t find the answer? Unfortunately, no. You are paying for my expertise, education, and resources provided.
  • How are the results delivered? You’ll receive a PDF report that includes your original query, my results, and sources provided with clickable links for you to investigate on your own time.
  • You provided an answer, but it’s not the answer I’m looking for. Is there a refund? Also, unfortunately, no. We use the discovery call to narrow down your query, and that is what the research is based on.
