The Ideas methodology: we don't ask your market, we listen to it.
Cross-market analysis across Vestiaire, The RealReal, Vinted, and Xiaohongshu shows resale flipping from secondary to primary purchase intent for buyers under 30. The assumption baked into most luxury brand tracking, that resale is a separate market, is inverting for the next generation. If your brand health metrics still treat primary and secondary interest as distinct, you are measuring a buyer who does not exist in this cohort. Category definition itself needs rebuilding.
On Vinted, Vestiaire Collective and TikTok, shoppers under 30 now treat secondhand as the default first stop. New retail is the fallback, not the entry point.
Reddit, Mumsnet, Korean finance forums, Brazilian Twitter. Not investor talk. Saving talk. If your share-of-wallet study does not include stablecoin holdings, your competitive set is wrong by 8 to 12% already. The gap is widening monthly.
Discord, TikTok, Twitch chat corpus. "Session" implies time-bounded intent. "Lobby" implied place-bounded presence. Engagement metrics built on concurrent-player counts are measuring the wrong thing for this cohort.
Not about TikTok as a platform. About where the purchase actually happened. Most brand trackers still code "where did you buy" with a list written in 2022. The top channel for a rising buyer cohort is not on the list.
Customer review corpus across G2, Capterra, TrustRadius. Integrations are now the primary churn driver in mid-market SaaS. Product roadmaps optimizing for new feature shipping are racing the wrong race for this segment.
2023 conversation: "I'm worried about long road trips." 2026 conversation: "I live in a flat with no charger." The barrier moved. Tier-1 city dwellers are now the under-served buyer in conversation patterns. Highway charging infrastructure investment is solving last year's anxiety.
