Market Evidence

STUDIES ON NEEDS AND PRIORITIZATION

Public research frames the question. A commissioned Study investigates the evidence in your own customer base.

Research connecting needs and decisions.
MARKET EVIDENCE ◆ NEED GAP ◆ ICAN AND VOLUME ◆ REAL DATA, NOT OPINION ◆ NEED-BASED DECISION SCIENCE ◆ MARKET EVIDENCE ◆ NEED GAP ◆ ICAN AND VOLUME ◆ REAL DATA, NOT OPINION ◆ NEED-BASED DECISION SCIENCE ◆ 

Companies’ perception of the market does not always reflect where the greatest value potential exists.

The Institute’s studies exist to close that gap, measuring real needs with the same methodological rigor used in each corporate study.

How We Treat Evidence

Research with rigor. Interpretation with context.

Institute studies vary in audience and purpose, but share principles that allow data to support a decision without being confused with opinion.

Primary evidence

Conclusions begin with needs and perceptions collected directly from audiences relevant to the question being studied.

Documented method

Each study states scope, population, period, interpretation criteria and the limitations required to understand the findings.

Proprietary technology

The Institute uses its own tools and metrics to organize research and increase consistency in analysis.

Evidence ≠ automatic decision

Data reveals patterns and tensions. Executive guidance also considers the strategic, economic and operating context of the organization.

Request a Study

Need evidence about your market?

Companies and organizations can request a study dedicated to a market question, category, audience or strategic transformation. The Institute conducts the investigation and delivers interpreted evidence for the decision.

What a custom study delivers
Market evidence tailored to the question

Unlike the Strategic Prioritization Study, which starts from a company’s own customer base, a sector study examines a broader audience to answer a specific market question.

  • A reading of needs and tensions relevant to the question
  • Differences across audiences, segments or contexts when they matter
  • Evidence on spaces already served and spaces that deserve investigation
  • An executive report with implications, limitations and possible decisions
