We size these against your own volumes during a pilot. 01 · Consumer Insights & Research ### Consumer Study and Verbatim Analysis Pre-built AI agent: [Consumer Interview & Qualitative Study Analysis](/agent-library/consumer-interview-analysis/) Kolena reads agency debriefs, U&A studies, sensory panels, focus group transcripts, and thousands of verbatims, and codes them to your own attribute framework. - Codes verbatims to your taxonomy of benefits, attributes, and purchase drivers. - Compares results across waves, markets, and brands, and flags where a finding contradicts a prior study. - Makes a decade of archived study findings searchable in plain language, with the source page cited. Study reports Panel & sensory data Review verbatims Focus group transcripts Expected ROI 3 weeks → 2 days from raw study material to a synthesized readout ~$220K annual coding and re-analysis spend brought in house Owners Consumer Behavior & Research, Market Insights, Brand Strategy, Sensory Science 02 · Regulatory Affairs ### Regulatory Submission Assembly Kolena AI agents assemble the submission from formula records, supplier documentation, test reports, and safety data, then reformats it for each market's requirements. - Checks INCI listings, allergen declarations, and concentration limits against current restricted-substance lists. - Generates market-specific submission sets for US, EU, UK, ASEAN, and China from one source of truth. - Re-runs the whole portfolio when a regulation changes and returns only the affected products. Safety substantiationRaw material dossiersTox & stability reportsRegistration forms - Checks ingredient lists, Nutrition Facts panels, and allergen declarations against current labeling requirements. - Checks that on-pack nutrient and health claims trace to the nutrition analysis behind them, and flags where that data has changed. - Re-runs the portfolio when a formulation or supplier changes and returns only the affected SKUs and label proofs.

We build this model with your volumes, blended rates, and launch cycle times during the pilot. Labor Hours returned to the team Researchers stop coding responses by hand and regulatory analysts stop rekeying filings. Capacity grows with the portfolio instead of headcount. Speed Launches on the calendar Filings, artwork approvals, and insight readouts stop being the critical path. Products reach shelf in the season they were planned for. Leakage Dollars recovered Off-spec raw material caught at intake, reprints avoided, and duplicated agency studies retired. Risk Exposure reduced Consistent application of your own standards, plus a defensible record for authorities, retailers, and certification bodies.

Customer Stories ## What CPG Teams Say Personal care, food, and household manufacturers use Kolena AI agents to cut document turnaround from weeks to days. "We had a decade of study reports nobody could search. Kolena coded the verbatims to our own attribute framework and gave us one comparable insight set, with every finding traced back to its source page." Lead, Consumer Behavior & Research Multinational personal care group "Registration packets for a new market used to take a full quarter of analyst time. Kolena builds the dossier from the formula record and the safety data, and my team reviews it instead of typing it." Head of Regulatory Affairs Global skincare manufacturer "Every claim on the carton now has its study, its protocol, and its page reference attached. Legal review stopped being the reason artwork misses a print window."
