FASHION CONSUMER INTELLIGENCE
PROBLEM → SOLUTION
The Problem
- Every season, SKU and capsule decisions are made under time pressure.
- One wrong choice = dead stock, markdowns, lost margin, missed season.
- Traditional research is slow. Decisions based on gut feeling are expensive.
The Solution
- FCI provides fast behavioral validation before production.
- We test designs, silhouettes and price points on a proprietary fashion audience with real shopping behavior.
- This is not an Instagram poll.
- This is productized decision-support:
Design → Launch → Normalize → Decision.
HOW IT WORKS
Step 1 — Send SKU & Goal
You send 1–10 SKUs (sketch / render / sample) and define the goal:
Go/No-Go, price, assortment / product range, capsule, colorway.
Step 2 — IP-Safe Launch
We package your materials in IP-safe formats and launch on relevant panels.
Step 3 — Decision & Recommendations
You receive a commercial decision with metrics and recommendations:
What to produce. What to drop. What to adjust.
IP-SAFE PROTOCOL
We test without IP leaks and without brand risk.
