Unlock Game Changing Insights from Respondent Images & Videos
Elevate panel & survey value with our AI-powered Visual Analytics
Your Surveys & Panels. Upgraded.
Traditional interviews and surveys capture what people say. PCSSO reveals what they actually do. Our Visual Analytics integrates seamlessly with existing operations, using our patented computer vision engine to analyze respondent-submitted images (and videos) to unearth the context of usage around products.
What was once passive input becomes validated behavioral insight — closing the critical gap between what people say and what they actually do.
