UX LabField notes
Lab-note testimonials
"CognitionLab delivered a working RAG prototype in eleven days. Our board saw a live demo, not a roadmap — that changed the funding conversation entirely."Marie-Claire Dupont — VP Innovation, FinTech Montreal
"The benchmark report compared four models on our clinical notes dataset. Clear winner, clear trade-offs. Exactly the evidence our compliance team needed."Dr. James Okonkwo — Director of AI, HealthTech Quebec
"Their UX research cycle uncovered three friction points we would have shipped. Saved us months of rework after launch."Sophie Tremblay — Head of Product, SaaS Platform

Note for innovation teams
Built for R&D, product and strategy leaders
Whether you are exploring a new AI capability, validating a vendor claim or preparing a board presentation, CognitionLab gives you a controlled experiment — not an open-ended consulting engagement. Every project ends with documented evidence your team owns.
We work with enterprise innovation labs, scale-ups and research departments across Quebec and Canada. Prices in Canadian dollars (CAD).
