Our Process
By merging evidence synthesis with data visualization, we reveal trends and key opportunities from the research landscape. We then apply the nutrition science, regulatory/policy expertise, and business strategy to provide both the scientific rigor and commercial awareness necessary to drive actionable and impactful insights.





Information gathering
Systematic review and meta-analysis form the core of our approach. Using a combination of manual effort and AI assistance, we mine sources from citation databases, search engines, policy guidance, grey literature, and consult with topic experts.
Interpretation
The truth is expensive, we make it less so.
We bring to bear our PhD-level experience and networks in nutrition science, neuroscience, epidemiology, statistics, policy, and public health to interpret the science in context of the commercial need and regulatory/policy environment.
Data visualization
Results are visualized in Tableau to provide at-a-glance takeaways. These reveal the secrets hidden in plain sight that are lost in lengthy reports and databases.
Communication
We publish in academic journals, write white papers, create public visualizations, and organize private data repositories to keep the target audience aware, informed, and ready to make data-driven decisions.

- Gap analyses to help shape long-term strategy such as developing requests for proposals
- Focused reviews that specifically align with your business needs
- Confidential reviews that do not need to be published externally or subjected to peer-review
We love working with teams who already have a solid grasp of the state of the literature! Our reviews help codify and document relevant literature in a single place, making it easier for you to:
- Make sure everyone on your team is truly on the same page
- On-board new team members to the essentials of your body of literature
- Conduct comparative analyses while reducing personal biases
- Create messaging that empowers your customers to also understand the literature
- Avoid re-reading and re-analyzing existing literature so you can focus on new developments
All Traverse Science reviews include:
- A searchable, shareable database of the evidence pertinent to your research question
- PICO criteria and search terms used in the scanning and scoping phase
- A custom walk-through from our team to teach you how to leverage the database to its full advantage
- Custom communication options, including white papers, visualization platforms, and more
- Subscription options to maintain your database and create living evidence
Yes, it is! Databases are searchable, shareable, and allow you to directly compare research in a streamlined way. Review databases allow:
- Marketing teams to use verified evidence in their campaigns, creating empowered consumers who know that the data is on their side.
- Sales teams to leverage evidence with customers to show what the body of evidence says instead of cherry-picking evidence
- Research teams to understand gaps in the evidence and routes for innovation
- Leadership teams to understand large bodies of research at-a-glance to make big decisions, quick
