The 3 Levels of Intent
Every Reaction Has an Intent Behind It.
The Intent Room analyzes behavior through three levels.
01 — STATED INTENT
What people SAY they want.
The obvious explanation people give for their behavior, choices, complaints, reactions, or decisions.
02 — HIDDEN INTENT
What is actually driving the behavior.
The emotional, psychological, social, financial, or practical motivation underneath the stated reason.
03 — IDENTITY INTENT
What the decision says about who they believe they are.
The deepest level. Identity determines the groups people defend, the brands they trust, the people they follow, the prices they accept, and the stories they choose to believe.
