Held July 29–30 at the Javits Center, Mavrix participated in two featured sessions, first with Delineate and then with Boston Consulting Group (BCG) and Knit.In ‘Free Data, Worthless Data: What’s Actually Left Worth Paying For,’ Mavrix and Delineate examined how AI is automating survey creation, coding, summarization, analysis and reporting. The session’s central argument was that as routine production becomes easier to automate, value shifts toward evidence that is harder to replicate: proprietary and timely signals, verified human participation, hard-to-reach audiences and judgment about what matters.”AI gives our industry extraordinary capabilities,” said Glen Collins, EVP, Global Commercial Group at Mavrix. “But AI cannot fix speaking to the wrong people. If the human evidence underneath is weak, technology simply allows us to analyze weak evidence faster and with greater confidence. Better human evidence in means better intelligence out.”Mavrix also described verification as a Human Evidence Chain: Reach, Qualify, Verify, Engage and Defend. The objective is not more checks, but evidence that can withstand scrutiny when findings are challenged.
