- Where did we already explore this in past research?
- How do we turn findings into actionable recommendations?

[Frequently Asked Questions]
Market research, frequently asked.
What is market research and why does it matter for product decisions?
Market research is the process of gathering and analysing data about a market, its customers, and the competitive landscape to inform business decisions. Done well, it tells you who’s buying, why they’re buying, what they wish was different, and what the next behavioural shift is — before your competitors notice. It’s the difference between betting on a hunch and shipping with evidence.
What’s the difference between qualitative and quantitative market research?
Quantitative research measures how many and how much — surveys, polls, trackers that produce numbers. Qualitative research uncovers why — interviews, focus groups, immersions that produce stories, motivations, and unmet needs. The best market research combines both: quant tells you what’s happening at scale, qual tells you the human reason behind it.
How long does a typical market research study take?
Traditional market research takes 4–8 weeks per wave — recruit panel, field the study, analyse, deliver a report. Modern AI-moderated research compresses this to a few days. Alchemic, for example, fields a qualitative study in under 48 hours by replacing human moderators with an AI that conducts every interview in parallel, then auto-extracts themes.
How much does market research cost?
Cost depends on three things — the number of respondents, the depth of each interview, and how much human labour goes into recruitment and analysis. A traditional 30-respondent qualitative study with a research agency typically runs ₹5–15 lakh in India. AI-moderated research at the same depth runs at a fraction of that because the cost of moderation and analysis scales with software, not headcount.
What kinds of market research can I run on Alchemic?
Alchemic supports the full qualitative spectrum — concept testing, brand equity tracking, product feedback, churn diagnostics, ethnographic deep-dives, ad testing, and category exploration. Every study uses AI-moderated interviews via WhatsApp, web, or phone, with auto-extracted themes, sentiment analysis, and a live dashboard. You can run a single wave or a continuous tracker.
How do I choose a market research partner?
Ask three questions of any partner: (1) how do they recruit — do they have a verified panel, or do they buy clicks; (2) how do they moderate — human moderators or AI, and how do they ensure consistency; (3) how do they deliver — a slide deck, a live dashboard, or both. The right partner gives you depth, speed, and a way to keep asking questions after the study ends.
