Description
Quantifind provides companies with explanatory analytics and data science experimental design. The technology shares “consumer language patterns... meaningful in driving sales or other key performance indicators (KPIs)” with client companies. Explanatory analytics is a tool used to change forecasted outcomes, rather than simply anticipating them via predictive analysis.
A company’s structured and unstructured data are inputted into the Quantifind platform, where proprietary technology correlates consumer language patterns with important KPIs. Companies mine this data to understand which specific marketing actions drive revenue; for example, in the cases of product launches or movie openings.
