Understand the “why” behind consumer behavior with predictive qualitative market research

Apply a tailored suite of AI tools to mine deep qualitative insights with proven 90% in-market accuracy. Go beyond insight – find out exactly what motivates your target audience’s behaviors and preferences for qualitative foresight.

What is predictive qualitative market research?

Predictive qualitative market research surfaces detailed insights into what motivates people’s choices, behaviors, and preferences around products, ideas, services, or events. 

 

While traditional market research methodologies collect personal opinion using open-ended questions such as likes and dislikes, predictive qualitative market research provides category foresight by revealing WHY consumers make particular conscious and subconscious choices.

 

AI tools are used to analyze unstructured consumer rationale to help companies refine their products, services, and messaging at an unprecedented level of detail and accuracy.

Access richer insights

 

Our methodology tells you not only what, but WHY. On the HUUNU platform, participants are asked to give open-ended rationale to support the bets they place in a prediction market game. AI tools mine the qualitative data to reveal why they think they’re right and surface a detailed picture of what drives consumers.

 

Reduce rational response bias

 

Because participants in a prediction market game are asked to predict how others will behave, the effects of rational response bias are reduced, freeing participants up to give more truthful answers.

Humans are much better at predicting how others will behave. The HUUNU platform challenges research participants to bet virtual currency on how they think others will respond to ideas, products, or events in areas in which they are already knowledgeable. How much they bet tells us how sure they are. How quickly they bet tells us how they feel about it. For each answer, they’re asked to provide a rationale. All of this data is analyzed in real-time to deliver a likelihood prediction metric that clearly identifies winning options at a level so granular, even the closest calls are obvious calls.

  • Once the field is closed, you’ll receive topline data the next day, and the full report two days Once the field is closed, you’ll receive topline data the next day, and the full report two days later. 

Are the qualitative responses I get from HUUNU accurate?

 

There are two aspects of the HUUNU prediction market methodology that ensure the accuracy of qualitative responses. Firstly, participants are only asked to make predictions in areas in which they are already knowledgeable, drawing on their tacit knowledge. Secondly, participants are asked to make predictions about how they believe others will behave (something humans are much better at). Because they are not being asked to predict their own behavior, they are less likely to be influenced by rational response bias and social desirability bias, meaning they’re free to give more truthful responses. 

Years of retroactive validation have shown HUUNU’s behavior-based algorithm to be 90% accurate 3 years out and beyond, delivering qualitative insights you can trust. 

How quickly can I get responses?

 

You’ll receive your first report 72 hours after your qualitative survey has launched.
