If you run an e-commerce platform, you have no shortage of information. You have session IDs, timestamps, cart abandonment rates, and conversion funnels. But we haven’t solved the problem of understanding. This has always been the catch. Traditional analytics excel at answering “what” and “when.” They can tell you that a Cluster 4 (a segment, a cohort) of users consists of 32,000 users who visit frequently but rarely buy. But they cannot tell you why. Is Cluster 4 comprised of “Window Shoppers” enjoying the visual experience? Are they “Price Sensitive... - [From Opinions to Certainty: Why We Are Rebranding to SYMAR](https://www.symar.ai/blog/from-opinions-to-certainty-why-we-are-rebranding-to-symar/): Two years ago, we started OpinioAI with a clear mission.

In the early days, understanding customer needs was both an art and a science, involving a blend of intuition and limited demographic studies. As the industrial age blossomed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, pioneers like the British bakery chain J. Lyons and Co. laid the groundwork for market research by collecting customer feedback and systematically studying demand. They understood early on the invaluable truth: to cater to your customers, you must first comprehend their desires and preferences.
