The study

A fixed sample. Questions worth asking.

A 56-page study follows shoppers from early exploration to purchase-stage prompts. Across six On product lines and six shopper types, it examines how recommendations can shift as intent becomes more specific. The report’s dated scope makes the evidence legible without presenting it as a live or universal claim.

This report describes public-source research and model tests for a dated US-market sample; it does not use private client data. AI outputs can vary with prompt wording, model versions, retrieval and time. Findings are not a live view of all shoppers or a prediction of future recommendations. The source PDF carries a Confidential footer; this public page shows only watermarked sample previews and does not reproduce the full document. No On endorsement is implied.
