What Problem Pilot is
Problem Pilot reads complaints instead of surveys. It takes public discussion, clusters it into ranked pain themes, notes what people use instead, and returns positioning angles in a research brief.
The premise is that unfiltered complaints are more useful than polite survey answers.
What you can do with it
- Cluster complaints into ranked themes
