Foundational Research

Understand what users need before they ask for it

Before you build, launch, or iterate, you need to know what truly matters to your users. Foundational research helps you identify gaps, explore behaviors, and spot opportunities so you’re always solving the right problems.

Use Poocho to collect thick data about your participants’ lived experiences

Go beyond assumptions with open-ended conversations

Unveil your users’ true thoughts, behaviors, and emotions by creating a space for deep, engaging and empathetic conversations where they can freely express themselves.

Dig into challenges and unmet needs

Conduct in-depth interviews to explore pain points, workarounds, and frustrations with existing products or services. Hear directly from users about what’s missing.

Stay ahead of shifting needs

Track emerging behaviours, market shifts, and pain points in real time to uncover hidden opportunities and shape solutions before others do.
