For journalists
Working with us
We turn briefs around quickly and everything we supply is on the record and attributable.
- Social data on a breaking story
- Volume, sentiment, stance, theme breakdown, representative quotes with translation, and top amplifying voices. On the Bali Entourage story we delivered 13,963 mentions analysed across six platforms, in Indonesian and English, inside 24 hours.
- AI search and GEO commentary
- How generative engines describe brands, which sources they cite, and how that differs between Western and Chinese platforms. We run continuous monitoring across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Grok and DeepSeek — most recently 24,729 queries across a single tracking window.
- Greater China and cross-border markets
- Commentary in English, Cantonese or Mandarin on Chinese AI platforms, Xiaohongshu and mainland consumer behaviour — an area most Western analysts cannot cover first-hand.
- Attribution
- Data and quotes are attributable to Tocanan and to Eden Lau (劉偉良), Founder and CEO. We will always tell you what the data cannot support as readily as what it can.
