The PATM (Perception Analyzer) is a communication testing technology used by TMRC to quantitatively and qualitatively analyze audience reactions through a two-step process involving an initial quantitative test and follow-up qualitative reaction group. The PATM provides advantages such as neutralizing negative focus group elements, quick feedback of actionable results, and precise visual presentation of responses. TMRC uses the PATM to test various communication materials such as TV commercials, print ads, and product concepts prior to launch.
