From your dataset to insights the team can use Example study
01

Start straight from structured data

The Cauliflower research model structures your dataset automatically and understands how it fits together – including questions, scales, weighting, metrics and segments.

02

Understand results and take them further

Analyse your results in the dashboard. Edit content yourself or have data-based titles, descriptions and comments generated. With the agent, you ask your data questions and build new visualisations.

See Cauliflower in action

A few minutes on how research data becomes decision-ready insight – dashboards, answers and reports from one research model.

The problem

Your data is finished. The usable output is not.

Between a finished dataset and what colleagues actually use sits manual work: rebuilding charts, copying numbers across, chasing every correction. That part costs the time – not the fieldwork.

What happens after fieldwork
  • Rebuild charts in Excel
  • Copy numbers into PowerPoint
  • Every correction: a new version
  • Re-check bases and weighting
  • Next wave: start over

The work starts once the data is done.

The research model

One research model. Every output.

Cauliflower turns raw study data into a shared research model. So dashboards, AI answers, text analysis and reports all work from the same source of truth.

Research-aware

Understands waves, weights, base sizes, significance, matrix structures and open answers.

Flexible

Adapt dashboards, filters, comparisons, comments and AI questions to every study.

Governed

Turn exploration into reusable organizational knowledge – with roles, shared context and traceable outputs.

Methodological traceability

Every figure carries its origin.

Base, weighting, filters and significance are part of the model – not a footnote someone adds later.

“Research data is not complex because of its size. It is complex because of its methodology.”

Product principle · Cauliflower

Structure, not columns

Item batteries, questionnaire routing, weighting, bases, subsamples and changing data structures are read as structure – even though every ad-hoc study is built differently.

Traceable and controlled

Answers, charts, comments and exports lead back to the underlying data. Roles and permissions govern who may view, edit and share.

Processed in the EU

Operated in European data centres, built in Hamburg. Enterprise options: SSO, a dedicated tenant and a data processing agreement.

How it works

From finished dataset to usable output.

01

Understand the dataset

Upload SPSS, Excel or CSV. Cauliflower reads questions, waves, segments and open ends as one connected structure.

02

Check analysis and control values

Bases, weighting, filters and significance stay visible – you can see what a number rests on before you pass it on.

03

Produce dashboard and editable PowerPoint

One model, two outputs: a shareable dashboard for review and a PowerPoint you can keep editing.

04

Share and reuse

Distribute internally, and use the same structure on the next run instead of rebuilding it.

Use cases

From days to minutes.

Automate the most time-consuming workflows in research analysis and reporting.

Weeksminutes

Ad-hoc studies

Every study brings a different structure – different questionnaires, scales and segments. Cauliflower reads the dataset as it comes, and you work with the analysis, dashboard and slides straight away instead of building them first.

What you achieve

Less analytical effort. More reliable guidance.

You understand what truly drives your KPIs.

Cauliflower prioritizes influencing factors using Shapley values and Kruskal-Wallis tests according to their statistical impact – not according to how frequently something was mentioned.

Driver analysisShapleyStatistical impact

You reclaim weeks of analyst time.

Automatic structuring and coding turn days of manual analysis into just a few minutes; one customer reduced the effort required for text analysis by a factor of 100.

Automatic codingMinutes instead of days100× less effort

Your decisions withstand critical scrutiny.

Cauliflower takes significance, base sizes, weighting and low-base warnings into account – visibly, at the figure itself.

SignificanceLow BaseWeighting

Individual analyses become organizational knowledge.

Cauliflower connects closed-ended and open-ended study data in a shared Research Model – instead of allowing insights to be lost in isolated dashboards, text analyses and standalone solutions.

Research ModelReusableShared knowledge

Organizational knowledge

AI generates answers. Cauliflower creates organizational knowledge.

From individual analyses to knowledge used across the entire organization.

Generic AI answers a question – but context, definitions and insights are often lost in the next project. Cauliflower transforms exploration into traceable, shared and reusable knowledge that teams can review again, develop further and apply to new questions.

Every company learns. The great ones remember.

Frequently asked questions

What research teams ask most often.

What is an Insights Operating System?

An Insights Operating System connects study data, research methodology, analysis and the preparation of results in a shared platform. Cauliflower structures closed-ended and open-ended responses in a Research Model that generates dashboards, text analyses, driver analyses, reports and responses from the Cauliflower Agent.

Which data formats can I upload?

You can upload SPSS, Excel and CSV files, among others, and connect data through APIs. Open-ended responses and separate verbatim datasets can also be processed together with quantitative study data.

Does Cauliflower analyze closed-ended questions as well, or only open-ended responses?

Cauliflower analyzes both closed-ended questions and open-ended responses. The platform takes scales, matrix questions, item batteries, target groups, waves, weightings, base sizes and significance into account, among other factors.

How does Cauliflower differ from BI tools or generic LLMs?

Cauliflower was developed specifically for professional market research and understands the structure and methodology of study data. Unlike conventional BI tools or generic LLMs, the platform connects quantitative and qualitative analyses in a traceable Research Model.

Is Cauliflower GDPR-compliant?

Yes, Cauliflower is GDPR-compliant and hosted in the European Union. The platform is designed to process sensitive research and survey data within a controlled European infrastructure.

Who is Cauliflower designed for?

Cauliflower is designed for Corporate Insights, CX and UX research teams, as well as market research institutes and agencies. The platform supports teams that want to analyze studies efficiently, prepare results transparently and make research knowledge reusable.

How quickly can I obtain results, and can I export them to PowerPoint?

After upload, Cauliflower automatically structures the dataset and prepares it for analysis. The results can then be presented in dashboards and exported as editable PowerPoint reports.
