What is Hive Science?

Hive Science is a decision psychology intelligence platform that identifies the psychological mechanisms behind purchase choices. The vendor says it maps more than 300 predictive mechanisms, drawn from over 12 years of R&D and thousands of real-world A/B tests, and combines responses from real people with AI and machine learning. Instead of sizing a market by demographics, it uses a Psychological Addressable Market. Marketing teams use it to predict campaign performance before production and to see what drives competitor creative. Product teams test positioning and roadmap features against purchase drivers, strategy groups use it for growth planning, and private equity firms apply it to commercial diligence. The company works with large brands and agency partners and has offices in Minneapolis, Durham, New York, London and Sydney. Pricing is not published; the site directs visitors to request a demo.
