    Find the scenes, audiences and markets your customers already gravitate to.

  • Connect

    See which brands, artists and properties share their taste, with the evidence.

    Turn those relationships into hypotheses with a real way to make money.

Cultural data tells you who your audience is. Outbranch tells you what to do about it.

Taste is connected. People who love a brand also love particular artists, shows, games, places and other brands. Those connections point to partners, products and markets a brand has not considered yet.

From a name to a ranked shortlist

  1. 1

    Name a brand

    A brand, company, product, entertainment IP, website or a sentence about the business.

  2. 2

    Research it

    Outbranch reads public sources and builds a profile where every claim shows its source.

  3. 3

    Confirm it

    You correct anything wrong. Nothing runs on a profile you have not confirmed.

  4. 4

    Map the culture

    Qloo's Taste AI finds the brands, artists, shows, games and places your audience shares taste with.

  5. 5

    Form hypotheses

    Claude turns the strongest relationships into expansion ideas, each with a commercial mechanism.

  6. 6

    Test the case

    The top ideas get web research on competitors, costs, licensing and precedent, then a ranked evaluation.

Pick a signal. Follow the path.

Each cultural relationship becomes a hypothesis only when there is a credible way to make money from it.

Cultural evidence from QlooSourced market researchPartner proposed, not confirmed

Judged on explicit criteria, not a magic score

Every opportunity is assessed on the same seven questions. Each answer says whether it rests on measured data or on the model’s judgement, and where there is no evidence, Outbranch says so.

  • Measured backed by Qloo data or a sourced figure
  • Model assessment judgement from the available evidence
  • No data shown as a gap, never filled in

Evidence strength is calculated from what was actually collected. Outbranch never states a probability of success.
