Introduction:
In the realm of Market Research, the term “consumer behaviors” is often mentioned. However, it is essential to note that most reports rely on self-reported behaviors rather than observed behaviors. This raises a critical question: Did you state that you visited McDonald’s less than 10 times in the last 30 days, or did you actually visit McDonald’s fewer than 10 times during that period? In 2023, expecting consumers to accurately recall such details seems unrealistic. Unfortunately, many companies selling consumer insights lack the infrastructure to capture observed behaviors, relying solely on self-reported data.
The Dangers of Low-Quality Data:
When it comes to making informed decisions, numerous brands depend on data sources of dubious quality that cannot be trusted. However, in the age of AI, overlooking data quality becomes perilous. AI models heavily rely on data to generate accurate responses. It’s simple: Garbage in, garbage out. The issue is further compounded by the fact that AI systems are often unquestioned in their workflow support, adding another layer of complexity.
