Smarter Segmentation That Drives Better Decisions

You provide your clients with segment solutions that are stable, predictive, actionable and which tell a story. After over 25 years of researching and doing multivariate segmentation/clustering and predictive typing, we have developed a process which ensures you avoid major pitfalls and have incredible segments for your client:
For Better Questionnaire Design and Overall Process
Survey Design & Measurement Guidance
Survey Design & Measurement Guidance

We advise on survey design and optimal measures to ensure accurate solutions and avoid common segmentation errors.

International Segmentation Expertise

We have extensive experience in international segmentation, guiding the best approach, testing, and adjustments for cultural differences.

Decades of Experience Driving Better Outcomes
Decades of Experience Driving Better Outcomes

Decades of experience have refined our process to deliver the best outcomes and avoid common segmentation pitfalls.

For Unmatched Segmentation Process
Robust Distance Metrics & Solution Stability
Robust Distance Metrics & Solution Stability

We evaluate multiple distance metrics and random starting points for each segment count, selecting the few solutions that are most stable.

Influencing Segments on Key Opportunity Variables

We let you guide segments to reflect key opportunity variables without requiring them to be direct differentiators.

Protection Against Poor or “Lone Wolf” Segments
Protection Against Poor or “Lone Wolf” Segments

We prevent unreliable solutions by guarding against ‘lone wolf’ segments that differ on only one or a few inputs.

Safeguards Against Common Segmentation Failures

We guard against 11 common segmentation pitfalls, drawing on over 25 years of experience.

Attitudinally Similar, Behaviorally Distinct Segments
Attitudinally Similar, Behaviorally Distinct Segments

The Lookalike process identifies segments with similar attitudes but greater differences in transactional, behavioral, or demographic factors for targeted classification.

Predictive Typing with Fewer Inputs
Predictive Typing with Fewer Inputs

We use predictive analysis to ensure accurate typing of future respondents with a minimal set of questions.

Interactive Tools for Deep Segment Understanding
Interactive Tools for Deep Segment Understanding

We offer interactive tables and visual tools—difference tables, top differentiator sorting, perceptual maps, and radar charts—to quickly explore and understand segments.

For Great Extensions of Value
Lookalike Fusion Process
Our Lookalike Fusion process lets you map optimal segments onto new databases or extend them to key attributes for better targeting.
Segments That Tell a Clear, Cohesive Story
Direct AI Interaction Chat and Focus Group with Segments

Spark ideas, understand motivations, differentiation, ideate new features and reasons to believe, and uncover key brand image dynamics.

Problems Solved Through Advanced Segmentation

In general segmentation analysis allows your client to split the market into groups who have different sets of needs, attitudes, triggers and context out of which they derive value for your clients’ products and services. Dividing the marketplace and sizing the opportunity in each area or segment allows for customized product development or communication to raise overall penetration, sales and profits.

Confidence: Segmentation is a process of “art and science”. Our process applies the art much more into the science and method, offering more confidence in the process.

Insight: More insightful differences. We fulfil the promise of finding that key small set of inputs that unlock broader differentiation among more key inputs in a meaningful way.

Avoiding Segmentation Failure: We avoid a lack of meaningful differentiation, and our segments usually differ from each other 2x more than typical solutions

Avoiding Typing Failure: our process ensures successful 90%+ classification with 12 typing inputs or less.

Easy to use Typing Tools: Tools allow for individual typing and batch typing, with instructions on how to apply the formulas in other contexts.

Extend Practical Applications: Use the Lookalike Data Fusion to assign segment memberships in other databases.

The Science Behind Our Segmentation Solutions

Combining various forms of K-means clustering with predictive classification, in an iterative process of searching for the best solutions with specific important constraints

An advanced form of retaining the most important insights from a base attitudinal segmentation while finding nascent links into other datasets or types using an iterative optimization process.

Frequently Asked Questions

Your segmentation questions, answered — timelines, data needs, and solution guidance made simple.

1. How long does it take to generate a segmentation solution?
Typically, we need about 2 weeks after data collection to generate and iterate on solutions. Most projects go through two sets of solutions with client review, though sometimes more iterations are needed to refine the outcomes.
Once a solution is chosen, developing the typing tool usually takes around 1 week.
Lookalike Fusion generally requires 2 weeks after the final attitudinal segmentation solution.

Yes. We may need to structure the sample differently for the main segmentation to include respondents from a database if we plan to use that database for new differentiators or predictors.

We iterate as long as necessary to ensure quality. Typically, two sets of solutions are generated, reviewed, and refined, but additional iterations are possible depending on client feedback and project complexity.

What Our Clients Say

President
small research firm
Work has only just finished and landed well! I appreciated the way you guys were able to flex on the project and give me a few different types of outputs. We ended up using them all in some way or another. Your outputs were easy to use too! Will definitely reach out the next time a need arises!
Senior project manager
The project went well overall, with the client finding the insights we pulled from the simulator actionable. The process of receiving the simulator files (and updated files as we found adjustments needed) was very efficient, with Grant very helpful along the way.
Senior project manager
Overall this project went really well from our perspective. We appreciate the quick turnaround on the deliverables and appreciate the team for helping us address the client's concerns and explaining the methodological details.
Senior project director
I regrouped with the team and we all agree that the process was very smooth! The team appreciates how helpful you are in aiding us in answering the client's technical questions, how you make sure the analyses will answer the client's business objectives, and just how flexible you are with timing. Thank you for your partnership on this one!
Consultant
Thanks for the follow up on this. As always, it is great working with you and your team. I really have no complaints about this projects, especially as it was a rush for Q4… we got it done and the client was super satisfied.
Research manager
The process was super efficient and the communication super clear. Thanks again and looking forward to working with the team in the future!
Partner
The [client] price laddering was super smooth. We like this addition to questionnaire when clients want a little toe dip into pricing but can't really do a full fledged pricing study. I honestly felt like everything went great and can't think of improvements on this one.
