Is Papiers worth running as a client service?

Papiers enables agencies to offer managed research services with low setup complexity, but its lack of white-label and multi-client dashboards means the agency must operate it as a visible third-party tool. Evidence supports viability for research-heavy engagements; client pricing and ROI require the agency to supply labor costs, client price, and volume.
