Consumer Trend Radar — Understand Changing Buyer Behavior
Example session with this skill installed
Illustrative trend review: A retailer’s refill-product unit sales rose from 200 to 300 over two equal-length months. A promotion ran in the second month. Ten supplied reviews mention reduced packaging. No customer counts, total category sales, prior-year data or post-promotion period exist. Is this a durable consumer shift? Give a signal assessment, alternative explanations and a validation experiment.

Trend assessment
Refill unit sales increased in the supplied two-month comparison, but durable behavior change is unproven. Promotion is a material alternative explanation. Ten review mentions are qualitative signals, not a population preference estimate.
Observed and calculated
- Supplied: units rose from 200 to 300 in equal-length periods.
- Calculated: +100 units, a 50% increase relative to 200.
- Supplied: promotion ran in the second period.
- Supplied: ten reviews mention reduced packaging. Unique buyers, selection method and representativeness are unknown.
| Signal | Interpretation | Limitation |
|---|---|---|
| Unit growth | Retailer-level demand signal | Revenue, margin and category share unknown |
| Promotion overlap | Possible promotional lift | Cannot isolate price, display or campaign effects |
| Packaging review mentions | Reason worth investigating | Does not establish purchase motivation across customers |
Competing hypotheses
H1: Some buyers increasingly value refill formats.
H2: Promotion temporarily increased trial or stock-up purchases.
H3: Availability, display, channel mix or seasonality changed.
These are hypotheses; no cause is asserted. Customer counts are needed to separate more buyers from larger purchases by existing buyers.
Validation plan
- Confirm SKU scope, returns treatment, stock availability and period dates.
- Measure post-promotion sales, repeat purchase, unique buyers, units per buyer and contribution margin using approved definitions.
- Compare an appropriate nonpromoted cohort or matched period; validate comparability before interpreting differences.
- Review prior-year and category trends where available.
- Use neutral voluntary buyer questions to investigate needs and barriers, without inventing survey responses.
Experiment proposal
Run a bounded, approved merchandising test with comparable exposure and documented promotion conditions. Predefine measures and business guardrails from actual baseline data; no sample size or success threshold is invented here. Track repeat behavior beyond initial trial, then decide whether to expand.
Commercial decision
Keep refill demand as a promising retailer-specific hypothesis, not a proven global trend. Avoid broad claims that consumers changed preferences or that packaging concerns caused growth. No live monitoring, survey or experiment was conducted by this draft.

About this skill
Understand whether behavior is changing
Consumer Trend Radar helps brands, retailers, product and growth teams organize consumer signals by category, segment, geography, evidence window and business objective. It examines purchase, usage, price/value, channel, loyalty and switching shifts.
It supports baselines, change detection, motivation and barrier analysis, durable-versus-temporary trend validation and opportunity/risk experiments. Outputs distinguish observed behavior from stated preference, social attention and review sentiment. It avoids generational stereotypes and unsupported market-wide claims.
The workflow uses supplied or genuinely accessible evidence. It does not invent surveys, transaction data, search volumes, market share, forecasts or sources. Tools and integrations are optional; without them it builds manual research and monitoring plans rather than claiming live monitoring. Recommendations remain proportionate to sampling and seasonal limitations.
