DataBoost AI

Our goal

Complement existing approaches to give sub-segments greater statistical robustness, without replacing the field but amplifying it.

The key idea

Transform small sub-samples into robust bases using statistical levers.

  • The mechanisms

The mechanisms

Between-column correlations: the model learns the joint structure between study variables

Row correlations: the model is trained to generate coherent rows of data at the individual level

Segment-conditional imputation: the model learns the logic of the complete dataset to enrich the small sub-segment

  • Statistical reasoning

Statistical reasoning

The larger the sample, the closer its estimates are to reality (law of large numbers). The work of Stanford statistician Emmanuel Candès shows that, even with partially correlated samples, a larger sample is almost always more likely to be accurate than a smaller one. DataBoostAI applies this principle: it generates coherent synthetic respondents, thereby increasing the effective size of the sub-segments.

This effective size is measured by the Effective Sample Size (ESS): on average, DataBoostAI multiplies the ESS by 3.

In concrete terms, a sub-segment of 80 respondents can be boosted to the equivalent of 240 reliable respondents, without additional fieldwork.

Segmentation studies

Allows full exploitation of even the smallest marks or sub-targets, without compromising statistical accuracy.

Brand tracking

Reinforces the reading of low-penetration products, with stable and comparable indicators from one wave to the next.

Product benchmarking

Ensures reliable comparisons even on rare consumer profiles, reducing average error by up to 20%.

Elections

Opens up the possibility of analyzing under-represented sociological groups, while correcting inconsistencies in small samples.

Niche consumer studies

Gives access to hard-to-recruit targets (B2B, minorities, specific uses), quickly and cost-effectively.

Share your brief

If you don’t have one, we can build it together

A good brief includes your problem, your target audience, the themes you want to explore and other key elements.

Precision and confidence with agility

Agility

The flexibility to explore new angles post-analysis, to reveal additional insights and refine your decisions.

Robustness

Reliable results, even on very small sub-segments, to guarantee the robustness of your analyses.

Transparency

A validated protocol, measured results and systematic human control for total clarity.

Precision

Reduced margins of error and more stable conclusions for more reliable decision-making.

A real game changer for exploring small brands and boosting our portfolio.
