CUSTOMER INSIGHTS COMPANY

We measure what moves people.

When you know what moves people, you know what moves business. We test how customers actually react, not what they say, down to the millisecond, so you know what will work before you spend the budget on it.

The Gap Proof Measures

Said they’d buy

Actually bought

What they say

vs

What they feel

INSIDE PROOF

A small team, obsessed with the details.

Based in Overland Park, Kansas, the PROOF team has spent 15+ years turning gut reactions into decisions organizations can act on.

“Traditional research asks people to explain decisions they can’t consciously explain. We built PROOF to measure the reaction instead of the explanation.”

– Grant | Founder, PROOF

HOW WE GET PAST THE POLITE ANSWER

We measure instinct.

Traditional surveys rely on what people say after they stop and think. Real decisions happen in milliseconds.

We focus on emotion.

Customers don’t buy based on logic alone. They buy based on how they feel.

THE PAYOFF

We track reactions in real time.

Quick answers signal a strong emotional pull. Hesitation signals doubt.
