Dashboard for virtual prototyping

A major CPG company

The delivered dashboard compares prototypes, predicts consumer targets from analytical or sensory inputs, supports virtual prototyping, and exports editable presentation reports.

The situation

Researchers needed one place to compare prototypes, predict consumer targets, and export editable reports from model output.

The delivered system is a modeling workbench, not a slide deck. Researchers place prototypes in the modeled product set, compute supported consumer measures from analytical or sensory inputs, explore response surfaces, and leave with editable presentation output.

The approach

  1. Compare prototypes

    Researchers place new prototypes beside the products already represented in the model.

  2. Predict consumer targets

    Analytical or sensory inputs drive the consumer measures the model supports.

  3. Explore and report

    Virtual prototyping tools show input-response relationships and compile results into editable presentation output.
