Focus Group Facility
ニューヨーク市
SIS owns and operates a dedicated qualitative research facility at 11 East 22nd Street in Manhattan’s Flatiron District. Purpose-built for focus groups, IDIs, product tests, taste evaluations, car clinics, mock jury deliberations, and usability sessions.

Not Rented for It
Adjacent observation room with one-way mirror for live client viewing. HD cameras, studio-quality microphones, and live streaming for remote stakeholders. Simultaneous translation equipment with bilingual moderators fluent in Spanish, Mandarin, and German.




One Facility
Every format is supported end-to-end: SIS writes the screener, recruits participants, moderates sessions, and delivers coded transcripts with a strategic findings report.
Consumer Focus Groups
Six to eight respondents discuss a product category, brand, or concept under moderator direction. SIS writes the screener, builds the discussion guide, and delivers thematic analysis of coded verbatim transcripts.
B2B In-Depth Interviews
One-on-one sessions with C-suite executives, procurement officers, physicians, or engineers. Recruited through direct professional outreach, not aggregator panels.
Product Tests & CLTs
Respondents handle, use, or consume physical products and give structured feedback. On-site test kitchen and display area eliminate external venue rental.
Taste Tests & Sensory
Controlled conditions for food, beverage, and personal care assessment. Sequential monadic designs reduce comparison bias. Temperature-controlled storage ensures consistency.
カークリニック
Full-size vehicle evaluations covering exterior styling, interior materials, infotainment usability, and price positioning against the competitive set.
模擬陪審員調査
Attorneys present case materials to mock jurors matching the trial venue’s demographic profile. Post-deliberation interviews capture verdict reasoning. Legal teams observe through the mirror or via secure stream.
Usability Sessions
Respondents interact with prototypes, apps, or websites while moderators observe task completion, navigation errors, and hesitation points.

NYC Facility FAQ
Practical answers about booking the space, what’s included, and how sessions run at 11 East 22nd Street.
Book the facilityBecause SIS owns the facility, we often have same-week availability — unlike third-party venues that book months ahead. For standard consumer groups, one to two weeks is typical. Complex B2B recruitment may require three to four weeks, but the room itself can usually be confirmed within days.
The standard booking includes the discussion room, client observation lounge with one-way mirror, HD video and audio recording, live streaming access for remote stakeholders, and on-site support staff. Catering, simultaneous translation, and test kitchen use are available as add-ons.
Yes. You can use your own moderator and rent the facility with full AV support, or you can use SIS’s in-house sector-specialist moderators. Many clients do both — bringing their moderator for some sessions and using SIS moderators for others where industry-specific probing is critical.
The observation lounge comfortably seats six to eight client observers with a clear view through the one-way mirror. For larger teams, the live streaming option lets unlimited remote viewers watch in real time from any location.
Yes. The facility includes an on-site test kitchen for food, beverage, and personal care product evaluations. Temperature-controlled storage ensures product consistency across sessions. This eliminates the need to rent an external commercial kitchen, which saves both time and cost.
SIS handles end-to-end recruitment from its own verified panels. We write the screener, source and qualify participants, confirm attendance, and manage show rates. You can also bring pre-recruited respondents if you prefer — the facility booking is flexible either way.
