The premise
Market research bottlenecks at synthesis; AI handles synthesis so research teams interview more customers and reach insights faster.
What AI does well here

- Maintain researcher judgment on which patterns matter strategically
- Track insight evolution over time as more customers contribute
What AI cannot do
- Substitute AI synthesis for actually talking to customers
- Replace researcher framing of the questions to ask
- Generate insight from few interviews regardless of AI quality
