Suitable scenarios:

  • ✅ Need to understand user needs, attitudes, preferences
  • ✅ Need to rapidly validate product concepts, pricing, design
  • ✅ Need to test marketing messages, brand positioning
  • ✅ Need to observe user discussions on social media

Less suitable scenarios:

  • ❌ Need large quantitative data (e.g., national market size statistics)
  • ❌ Need long-term tracking research (e.g., user behavior tracking 6+ months)
  • ❌ Need physical testing (e.g., product trials, physical packaging evaluation)

Recommendations:

  • Not sure if suitable? → Free trial for 1 month
  • Want more cases? → View website case library
  • Have special needs? → Contact sales team, customize solution

Q3: Can ROI really be this high?

Yes, reasons:

  1. Small base, large returns:

    • atypica cost: ¥499-4,999/month
    • Traditional research cost: ¥50,000-200,000/project
    • Savings ratio: 90-98%

  2. Revenue from faster decisions:

    • Launch 2 months earlier → Seize market opportunity
    • Avoid wrong decisions → Save bigger losses

  3. Scale effects from high-frequency use:

    • Use 4-8 times monthly → Cumulative monthly ROI
    • Annualized returns → Very substantial

But note:

  • ROI depends on your usage frequency and decision quality
  • Not "buy and automatically make money", but "use tool well to make money"
  • Recommendation: Try first, verify ROI, then decide long-term use

Q4: Can individual users/small teams get such high ROI too?

Yes, but ROI calculation differs:

Large companies:

  • ROI = Saved research costs + Increased revenue
  • Example: Save ¥100K research cost + revenue growth ¥1M = Very high ROI

Individuals/small teams:

  • ROI = Avoided losses + Improved success rate
  • Example: Avoid wrong direction (loss ¥50K) + improve success rate (revenue ¥100K) = Very high ROI

Real case (individual entrepreneur):

Key point:

  • Individual entrepreneur's core value: Risk reduction
  • Avoiding one major failure → Savings far exceed subscription fee
