Can Scoutr really replace agency research?
For most ongoing intelligence needs — brand health tracking, consumer language, competitor monitoring, trend detection — yes. For very specific custom research projects (ethnography, specific demographic deep-dives), agencies still have a role. Most Scoutr customers reduce annual research spend by 80–90% and use agencies only for the remainder.
How accurate is AI-processed consumer data?
More accurate than surveys for understanding unprompted behaviour. Survey respondents tell you what they think you want to hear. Consumers posting online tell you what they actually think. Our NLP models have been trained extensively on FMCG and consumer brand categories.
