Insights

heatseekverb

A market research method that uses AI and live in-market experiments to gather real evidence of customer behavior and purchase decisions — without recruiting survey panels.

Straight answers

The questions teams ask before they switch.

Everything worth knowing before you put surveys behind you — no jargon, no hedging.

What is behavioral ground truth?

Evidence of what customers actually do — verified clicks, purchases and choices observed in live markets — rather than what they say they'll do in a survey or focus group.

How accurate is behavioral testing vs. surveys?

Surveys predict real purchase behavior only 20–30% of the time. Heatseeker calibrates its predictions to up to 95% correlation with verified behavior.

What is a synthetic persona?

An AI model of a customer segment trained on verified behavioral data and your own first-party data — not scraped web text. You can question it directly and get an answer in minutes.

How is heatseeking different from A/B testing?

A/B testing optimises one asset for one metric. Heatseeking reveals the deeper drivers behind a decision — jobs to be done, pain points, pricing, language-market fit — and feeds them into a private model of your market.

How fast can I get an answer?

Synthetic experiments return a behavior-backed read in minutes. Live in-market experiments return statistically significant proof in days, not weeks or months.

Is my data used to train shared models?

No. Your synthetic audience is trained only on your tests, your first-party data and your behavioral signals. No one else gets access to it.
