Telborg vs Outset

Telborg is a research platform for data center infrastructure intelligence. It tracks construction, power, permitting, and siting moves across the United States, with deep coverage of Texas data center development pulled from state and county primary records.

The Texas Data Centers Tracker maps every filed move with cited facts: the operator behind each LLC, design and construction firms named on filings, approval stages, power suppliers, and funding or tenant announcements. Users can filter by county, company, project, or move type, with each card expanding to per-field primary citations.

Telborg also offers parcel-level siting intelligence that layers substation capacity, generation queues, water rights, sewer networks, zoning, and flood data from utility and government sources. A live Corpus Christi industrial corridor pilot lets users run multi-layer site screens on any map point.

Beyond Texas, Telborg publishes a daily US data center briefing, a verified news archive, company-specific tracking pages for hyperscalers and colocation operators, and an RTO/ISO large-load interconnection tracker sourced from FERC orders and grid operator filings. Every claim traces to the originating docket, filing, or company release rather than trade press rewrites.

Outset runs qualitative interviews at survey scale with an AI moderator that listens, watches, and probes in real time. You build a guide, recruit participants or import your own list, and the platform fields hundreds of parallel video, voice, or text sessions. It then synthesizes themes, quotes, highlight reels, and exportable reports without manual tagging.

Survey tools capture what people remember. Traditional qual interviews go deep but cap out at a dozen sessions. Outset targets the gap: dynamic probing tied to audio and visual cues, plus instant synthesis so teams close the say-do gap faster. It also ships Co-Design for real-time concept iteration inside live interviews, which most async survey or transcript-only tools do not bundle in one workflow.

Market researchers, UX researchers, and consumer insights teams at companies like Microsoft, HubSpot, Glassdoor, and Nestle use Outset for concept testing, persona work, brand studies, and usability tests. The platform reports 500,000+ interview hours, 10,000+ studies, and access to 1.1 billion possible participants across 85+ countries with support for 40+ interview languages.
