AI market research is useful only when it is grounded in humans.

Synthetic research is not a shortcut around human understanding. It is a way to extend a human signal once that signal has been collected, checked, and structured.

The most useful studies begin with real participants and use AI to identify patterns, pressure-test segments, and scale the analysis. Without that calibration layer, synthetic output can sound fluent while drifting away from the market.

The discipline is in the validation: held-out human responses, parity checks, minority-viewpoint coverage, and expert review before any recommendation reaches a client.
