Which technology shifts will buyers pay for?

We study how households choose products and how enterprises move from trials to paid deployments, then estimate what those choices mean for market demand.

Talk to the people who make the purchase.

Consumer surveys

In multi-country quantitative surveys, we ask what people own, what they bought last and when they expect to replace it. Comparing those answers by country, income and installed device shows which buyers are ready to switch and which can wait.

Enterprise decision-maker panels

We ask IT decision-makers who controls the budget, how many seats are in production and what stands in the way of a rollout. A pilot held up by security review calls for a different response than one that users tried and abandoned.

Size the market you can reach.

See what buyers give up to get the feature they want.

Show buyers two plausible offers at different prices and ask them to choose. Varying the features separates the benefits that change a purchase from those people like when everything costs the same. We test positioning against those choices and compare price sensitivity across buyer groups.

After launch, the Delight Scale measures how customers feel about the product they bought. Read how the scale works to see what it adds to a satisfaction study.

Check buyer intent against what the industry can deliver.

The Forecast Stack connects adoption assumptions to chips, compute capacity and revenue. Use Atlas to follow our research as supplier plans and customer budgets change.
