Data collection methodology.

Syndicated data collection

We collect data continuously across entire categories rather than for individual clients. This achieves 10x lower cost per insight while maintaining research-grade quality standards.

Full data ownership

Unlike traditional panel providers, Odyssey owns all collected data outright. This enables cross-client analysis, AI model training, and instant onboarding for new customers.

Structured database architecture

All data is stored in a standardized, normalized schema across categories and markets. Our architecture enables querying across the entire dataset and powers the conversational AI layer.

Pre-collected vertical data

Data is collected proactively across verticals like Beauty, Energy, and FMCG. When a new customer signs up, historical data is already available. Insights from day one.

Panel quality and methodology

Representative consumer panels with demographic quotas. Survey design based on established brand equity frameworks. Continuous data quality monitoring with automated outlier detection.

Collection frequency

Always-on data collection with configurable frequency per market and category. Standard cadence is monthly for core metrics, with burst capacity for campaign measurement windows.

Delivery compared to alternatives.

Traditional providers (Kantar, Ipsos)

Project-based delivery

Each engagement is a separate research project. Typical timeline 3–6 months for baseline data.

Analyst-mediated insights

Data access through scheduled reports. Limited self-service capability. Strategic recommendations require additional consulting.

Data stays with provider

Client receives reports but underlying data remains with the research company. No AI features possible without data access.

Budget trackers (Latana, Tracksuit)

Awareness metrics only

Focus on top-of-funnel metrics. No positioning analysis, segmentation, or strategic depth.

Limited competitive scope

Typically 3–5 competitors tracked. Missing most category drivers and market dynamics.

Descriptive dashboards

Numbers without interpretation. No strategic recommendations or action guidance.

The missing layer in brand measurement.

LLMs are becoming how people discover, evaluate, and choose brands.
