You are working on innovation

The best innovations don't happen by chance. Whether you're developing a new product, refining an existing offering, or preparing for launch, every investment comes with uncertainty. Which ideas deserve further development? Which packaging attracts attention? What price will customers accept? Customer-driven insights reduce risk and increase the chances of commercial success. We help organizations validate innovation decisions before major investments are made, so you can innovate with confidence.

Experiments

We can help with the following research topics:

Idea selection

Screen and prioritize ideas:

• Which ideas have the strongest commercial potential?
• Which concepts best solve customer needs?
• Which ideas should you prioritize for further development?
• Which ideas deserve additional investment and which should be discarded?
• What improvements increase the likelihood of market success?

Concept test

Validate product or service ideas:
• How relevant and valuable is your concept?
• What are the alternatives?
• What are the key benefits and potential drawbacks?
• Are you perceived as a credible provider?
• How can you optimize or improve your concept? In which context does your concept bring the most added value?

Pricing

Define a pricing strategy that reflects customer value and maximizes commercial success.

• What is the optimal price for your product or service?
• Which alternatives act as price anchors for customers?
• Which value drivers justify a higher price?
• Is pricing a barrier to purchase or adoption?
• Which pricing model best fits your offering (one-off, subscription, pay-per-use)?
• How price-sensitive is your target audience?
• Should you optimize individual prices, bundles, or your overall business model?

Packaging test

Optimize your packaging to stand out on the shelf and strengthen purchase intent.

• Which packaging design attracts the most attention?
• Which design best communicates your brand, brand associations and value proposition?
• Which packaging creates the strongest purchase intention?
• How do multiple packaging concepts compare?
• Which improvements can further optimize your packaging?

We complement results with rich qualitative feedback for optimization.
