Ethnography
Observing people in their own context, at home, in store or at work, instead of asking them questions in a research setting.
Ethnography is the method AI has touched least, and the one that most often produces the finding nobody expected. Diary studies, in-home visits and shop-alongs remain human work.
The insights engineer protects budget for it by making everything else cheaper.
