Ask the question. Get the cited answer. Every month.
Trend, competitor, market and consumer research as a loop your team runs - not a report someone delivers.
Research and intelligence agents are AI agents configured to read fashion-specific sources - runway archives, trade flows, retail sites, social signal - and return cited, editable documents. McLeuker installs the loop rather than delivering the report.
You buy the same market study every eighteen months, it is out of date by the time it is presented, and the analysis cannot be re-run when the question changes slightly.

Consulting installs it. The platform runs it.
This capability has a counterpart on McLeuker AI, the agentic platform the same team built and operates. The engagement is how it arrives inside your operation, loaded with your brand context; the platform is where it runs afterwards.
Deploy. Thirty days onto McLeuker AI, then retained.
Your operation loaded onto agents that already know the fashion domain.

What buyers ask first.
How is this different from buying a market report?
A report is a snapshot someone else framed. This is the loop that produced it, running in your workspace, re-runnable when the question changes. The output is editable and every claim carries its source.
Where do the sources come from?
Curated per category rather than scraped from the open web - runway archives, trade flows, retail sites and social signal chosen for the question you actually ask. Curation is part of the install and is maintained.
Can we see why the agent believes something?
Yes. Citation and confidence are surfaced on the claim, not buried in an appendix. Where the evidence is thin, the output says so rather than smoothing it.
Does this replace our insights team?
It replaces the part of their week spent assembling material. The judgement about what the material means is the part worth their salary, and it is the part agents are worst at.
