For global brands entering China

Forefind it before you make it.

See how Chinese consumers will make sense of your brand — before you launch in China.
Test the product, price, story, and assumptions still on the table. Forefind turns fragmented Chinese consumer responses into a clear next decision: what to test, what to change, and what not to launch.

Frame your China decision

Bring the decision. See how consumers read it. Choose your next move.

Before your first China entry

Fictional scenarios illustrate Forefind capabilities and applications. Brand logos and shopping scenes illustrate entry into the Chinese market and consumer environments; they do not imply a business relationship with, endorsement of, or sponsorship of Forefind.

What will Chinese consumers make of your brand?

Bring the options you are considering. See how consumers read them, where they hesitate, and which assumption deserves a real market test.

Design in English or Chinese

An AI assistant drafts with you, and stops where your judgment starts. Three question types: single choice, multi choice, 5-point scale. Each one waits for your yes.

Fielded in China, by us

We prepare your survey for Chinese participants. English questionnaires include a back-translation for you to review; Chinese questionnaires go straight to project review.

First paid project
from $1,000per project

The Chinese Consumer Interpretation Sprint is that first project. Longer programs — more waves, more SKU and price questions — can reach a scale of US$100,000. Pricing depends on question count, target N, quota layers, and analysis depth. Nothing fields until you have read the written quote and agreed to it.

Questions

Short surveys cost less to translate and check.

Target N

200 is the usual start. Larger N takes more fielding time.

Quota layers

Age, gender, city tier come standard. Extra layers narrow the pool.

Analysis depth

From a single readout to multi-wave comparisons.

How to read these results

Forefind pool respondents (non-probability opt-in).

Forefind surveys combine responses from real people and simulation AI agents built on real behavioral data. Results are delivered as one merged pool of valid responses, with AI-generated content labeled. Backtesting assesses method limits; it does not guarantee consumer behavior or sales outcomes.

Consumer personal-level data never leaves China.
