A formal CPG concept test costs $15K or more and takes weeks to deliver results. WouldTheyBuy gives you a fast first filter built on the methodology from Semantic Similarity Rating (arXiv:2510.08338, Maier et al., 2024). In 60 seconds you get a purchase-intent score on a 5-point scale with demographic breakdowns by age, income, diet, and lifestyle segments. Use it for CPG concept testing and consumer product validation — screen flavor, format, and positioning ideas before committing to co-packing minimums or an expensive beverage product idea test. Compare every SKU in your pipeline side by side while changes still cost nothing.

Share what it is, who it\u2019s for, your target price, and the key differentiator \u2014 just like a one-liner on a sell sheet.

2

Review the buying signal

See purchase intent scored on a 5-point scale with breakdowns by age, income, diet, and lifestyle segments.

3

Narrow the lineup

Run each flavor, format, or positioning angle and compare scores to decide which concepts deserve the full study.
