How Looma works

Built on a research and data pipeline, not a single AI prompt

Looma is designed to turn fragmented market information across Southeast Asia into structured, continuously evolving intelligence. Behind every research output is a multi-stage pipeline that discovers, collects, normalises, validates and analyses data before generating an insight.

FRAGMENTED MARKET DATA→INSIGHT
01STAGE 01 / 06
SOURCE DISCOVERY

Looma's research engine identifies relevant information across multiple source types — company websites, business listings, marketplaces, social signals, industry publications, public datasets and other market-specific sources.

INGESTION
Feeds where an API exists, crawlers where it does not.
02STAGE 02 / 06
DATA EXTRACTION

Unstructured information is converted into structured data — including companies, products, pricing, locations, categories, market signals and other relevant attributes.

EXTRACTION
Per-source parsers, re-runnable per market.
03STAGE 03 / 06
DATA NORMALISATION

Information from different sources is standardised into a common structure, allowing businesses, products, prices and market signals to be compared consistently across markets.

STORAGE
One versioned schema across all six markets.
04STAGE 04 / 06
VALIDATION & CROSS-REFERENCING

Findings are evaluated across available sources to identify discrepancies, outdated information and gaps in the evidence. Where possible, important data points are corroborated rather than relying on a single source.

QUALITY
Duplicates, stale records and single-source claims are flagged.
05STAGE 05 / 06
INTELLIGENCE LAYER

The structured dataset is analysed to identify competitive patterns, pricing dynamics, emerging trends, market gaps and other signals relevant to the business question.

SCHEDULING
Stages re-run independently, so a market refreshes without a rebuild.
06STAGE 06 / 06
EVIDENCE & PROVENANCE

Key findings retain their source, date and supporting evidence, allowing users to trace an insight back to the information used to produce it.

TRACEABILITY
Source, date and evidence travel with the data point.
Our coverage

Six markets, four categories

Coverage is national, and depth varies by category and market with what is publicly available. Where a category is thinner in a market, the reports say so.

FAQs

Before you buy

How is this different from a research agency?+
Scope and price. An agency engagement is scoped over weeks and priced accordingly. A Looma report answers one specific question about one market, costs a fraction of that, and arrives in minutes. If you need a bespoke study with primary interviews, an agency is still the right call.
What does it cost, and is there a subscription?+
Pay per report, no subscription. You buy the report for the decision you are making, and nothing recurs.
How accurate is it?+
Every finding carries a confidence rating — high, medium or low — based on how much published evidence exists for your specific market and niche. Anything marked low confidence should be treated as a lead to verify, not a fact to act on. That grading is part of the report, not a disclaimer at the back.
What if there is no good data on my city or my niche?+
Then the report says so. Smaller cities and narrow niches are where public data runs out, and those sections are marked low confidence with the gap named. You will know what is missing rather than being handed an estimate dressed up as a finding.
Which markets and categories are covered?+
Six markets — Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam and the Philippines — across Beauty, Wellness, Fitness & sports, and Food & beverage. Depth varies by market; Malaysia and Singapore are the deepest.
Can I see a report before I pay?+
Yes. Request the sample and you get a full report for a current month in your category — the same file a paying customer receives, not an extract.
Who sees my brief?+
Only Looma. Your concept, budget and market are used to produce your report and are not resold, published, or used as a case study without your written agreement.
Will more countries be covered?+
Yes, in later phases. Adding a market means building the source network for it properly — registries, marketplaces, regulators — and we would rather cover six markets well than twelve thinly. New markets are announced when the pipeline behind them is ready, not before.
Will more industries be covered?+
Yes, in later phases. The four current categories share the same signals, which is why they came first. Expanding beyond them requires a wider source network as well as a stronger pipeline, and it follows the same rule: a category goes live when the data behind it holds up.
How does the data pipeline work?+
The specifics are proprietary, but the shape of it is not. Looma maintains its own collection and structuring layer over public sources, refreshed continuously, so each brief is answered against current data rather than a static dataset. What matters on your side is visible in the report: the source of every figure, the date it was pulled, and a confidence rating you can argue with.
Will there be subscription plans?+
Likely, in time — premium and subscription tiers are on the roadmap. For now the focus is on serving pay-per-report customers as well as possible, and nothing about that model changes for you if tiers are added later.
