Competitive Switching Interviews

Deeply understand triggers to leave, serious alternatives, and the tradeoffs that decide the win. Map push/pull factors and “last straw” moments to see where you’re gaining or losing ground.

The advantages of AI-moderation for market segmentation research

Market research is complex and high-stakes, but traditional qualitative research is slow and limited in scale.

AI-moderated studies enable faster, larger-scale interviews with consistent questioning, even revealing real patterns across regions and segments with multilingual capabilities — so teams can synthesize direction quickly and align on where to invest.
