We Study How Humans Decide

At SHORA, we investigate how users make decisions on the web. We build AI that applies that knowledge to create business value.

Purchase Journey Intelligence

Our product applies human decision-making research to e-commerce. CROspector determines the conditions that drive user purchase decisions, with supporting evidence.

Most conversion tools focus on friction because it makes it easy to generate hypotheses. But users weigh more than ease. Beyond friction, CROspector measures competitive positioning, availability, trust, and more... in order to fix what's blocking revenue, not just what's blocking clicks.
