Research methods and outputs

Methods described by the company.

Evidence-led audience construction
A study begins with an audience description and may include uploaded customer research or documents. Candor describes searching published material for evidence relevant to the resulting audience segments.

Adaptive synthetic interviews
Candor documents an interviewer that can follow participant-specific threads, depart from the initial guide where relevant and continue a prior conversation with the same participant.

Data and study setup

Data and settings the company says teams can choose.

Public evidence and customer-provided material
The platform names government statistics, industry reports, peer-reviewed research and professional-association data as possible published evidence, and says supplied documents take priority when they are available.

Field-level provenance labels
Candor labels some fields as “grounded,” “derived” or “assumed.” Its FAQ says some demographic summaries and personality or bias scores do not carry these labels.

Reported results

Results reported by the company, with details about how they were tested.

Inspectability is documented; an external benchmark is not

Candor documents evidence labels on many participant fields, a consistency check for interview responses and transcript access in reports. The reviewed materials do not make available a reproducible comparison against human participants for a defined audience, question type or decision.

Provenance labels and transcripts help a team inspect what informed a result and what was generated from it. They do not independently establish representativeness, predictive accuracy or transferability to a particular population.

Study limits

Evidence coverage depends on the study inputs
Candor says the quantity of evidence available depends partly on the material supplied by the user. A study should be scoped to the covered audience and evidence rather than assumed to represent an unobserved population.

Derived and assumed fields require attention
The supplier explicitly distinguishes fields derived from evidence and fields assumed by the system. Those distinctions should be reviewed before treating an output as a finding about a real customer segment.
