SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Restaurant owners and managers often guess whether a new menu item, price increase, or new concept will resonate with customers, and traditional surveys asking for direct 1-5 ratings collapse toward the middle. This Skill replaces guesswork with Semantic Similarity Rating (SSR): it builds personas from real customer segment data, lets an LLM voice free-text reactions, and maps those reactions onto five-point anchor sets to produce relative rankings. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Persona generation from real data: Pulls customer segments, RFM metrics, and basket analysis from the rocky-regi POS to condition 8-16 synthetic personas, forbidding imaginary personas. - Semantic scoring instead of direct ratings: Elicits free-text reactions and maps them to at least three five-point anchor sets via embedding similarity when a connector is available, or qualitative model estimation with strength labels when it is not. - Measured cross-validation: Cross-checks SSR rankings against actual CSAT survey results, dead-menu items, and menu engineering quadrants before recommending action. - Use Case: A manager asks which of three new menu ideas will land best. The Skill ranks them by segment with strength and distribution shape, flags that one idea resembles an existing dead menu item, and recommends a limited A/B test with a holdout group. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to compare three new menu ideas using synthetic consumer research based on the store's real customer segments.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I test new menu ideas before launching them?▼

Use synthetic consumer research to rank candidate menu ideas. The Skill builds personas from your real customer segments, collects free-text reactions to each idea, and maps them to five-point anchors to produce a relative ranking by segment.

What is Semantic Similarity Rating in consumer research?▼

Semantic Similarity Rating avoids asking for direct 1-5 scores, which cluster at the midpoint. Instead, an LLM voices free-text reactions, and those reactions are mapped to five-point anchor statements by embedding similarity or qualitative judgment across at least three anchor sets.

Can synthetic consumer research predict exact sales numbers?▼

No. SSR produces relative rankings, strength labels, and distribution shapes only, never absolute demand forecasts. Results must be validated with a limited A/B test using a holdout group before changing production prices or menus.

Does this work without an embedding API connected?▼

Yes, but scoring falls back to qualitative model estimation. Results are returned as strength labels and distribution shapes rather than decimal scores, and are explicitly marked as model estimates rather than measured values.

Why are synthetic personas built from POS data instead of imagination?▼

Personas must be conditioned on real attributes like visit frequency, average spend, and co-purchase patterns from the POS. Imaginary personas detach the sample from the actual customer base, making conclusions unreliable.

What are the limitations of LLM-based consumer simulation?▼

It is a directional aid, not a prediction of what customers think. Results require cross-checking against measured CSAT, dead-menu history, and menu engineering data, and concepts with zero real data are labeled reference scenarios only.
