# Kantar alternatives: AI interviews, analysis and reporting

Evaluate PulseLake when you need surveys, AI-led interviews, evidence analysis and reporting in a connected research system.

## Relevant capabilities

- Surveys and AI-led interviews with real participants
- Persistent study context and evidence provenance
- Automated reporting and reusable research knowledge

## How to compare

- Decide whether you need a platform, a research service, a proprietary norm or a combination; these are different purchases.
- Choose real-participant interviews, surveys or modeled exploration according to the evidence the decision needs.
- Compare study design, sample, interpretation and reporting responsibilities explicitly.

## Bring these inputs

- The business decision and research question
- Target population, sample requirements and evidence standard
- Required output, timeline and any proprietary benchmark dependencies

## A practical first workflow

- Write a decision-focused study brief with the team.
- Select the research method and identify any external sample or specialist services.
- Collect and analyze evidence with researcher review.
- Review the report and record which conclusions are supported and which need further validation.

## Check before expanding

- Check that the sample and method match the question.
- Trace important findings back to evidence.
- Retain specialist norms or validation where a replacement cannot reproduce them.

## Economics
Compare software fees, participant/sample costs, interview usage, analysis and reporting effort for the same study. A specific savings percentage requires a scoped comparison.

## Switching considerations
Confirm export formats, historical data import and onboarding requirements. Confirm rights and continued access to any vendor-provided norms or benchmarks separately; response exports do not establish equivalent benchmark coverage.
