Qualitative B2B research glossary
Shared language for pugreldyx readers. Definitions are educational — not legal advice — and they deliberately exclude ROI promises and representative-stat claims.
claude research cadence
pugreldyx’s weekly loop: capture, cluster, challenge, claim. See the full method in claude research cadence.
Decision-maker interview
Structured conversation with someone who recently influenced a B2B purchase. Methods: customer interviews.
Touchpoint residue
Artifacts left by evaluation behavior — screenshots, RFP language, demo stalls. Covered in market observation.
Purchase friction
A named stall, workaround, or silent drop-off in buying. Pattern work: purchase friction.
Veto
Authority to stop a deal regardless of champion enthusiasm. Mapped in decision-maker mapping.
Insight pattern
A repeated mechanism across sources — not a vibe and not a percentage. See insight patterns.
Positioning synthesis
Translating evidence into checkable claims. Guide: positioning synthesis.
Qualitative saturation
Point when new stories stop adding new mechanisms. Not a claim of statistical representativeness.
Silent owner
Person rarely on calls who still shapes outcomes. Detect via stalled threads and map hygiene.
Polluted phrase
Category language so overused that buyers parody it. Flagged during observation and synthesis.
