Segmentation & Persona — Attitudes Built for Clustering

Attitudinal and behavioral segmentation with consistent scales for clustering. K-means, factor and CHAID personas via Poseidon on SuperJ.

What is Segmentation & Persona?

Segmentation builds batteries designed for clustering — consistent scales across items, then PCA/factor → K-means/CHAID → personas. Hercules keeps scale discipline so Poseidon segments are clean, not artifact.

Questions this research answers

Common questions asked about this research goal, answered directly:

How do I segment Indian consumers for a new launch?

Hercules segmentation studies design attitudinal and behavioural batteries with consistent scales, then Poseidon runs K-means and CHAID to produce named personas you can size and target.

What is the difference between demographic and psychographic segmentation?

Demographic cuts (age, city tier, NCCS) say who; psychographic batteries say why. Hercules combines both: audience targeting controls the demographics, and clustering paints the attitudinal segments within them.

Case studies using this research approach

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Hercules build segmentations on?

Attitudinal and behavioral batteries with consistent scales — not a single NPS item. Requires scale-consistent design.

Which algorithm?

Poseidon supports K-means, factor and CHAID; the planner chooses on battery shape and n. Formula-driven, not LLM-invented.

How to validate personas?

Stability across tiers/cities via SuperJ quota and holdout segments in Poseidon.
