Kuala Lumpur · Wisma Hang Sam

The mirror holds a face. The companion app holds everything else.

We watch pairing, the first week of opens, and the hour after someone leaves the glass. Then we write a brief you can mark with a pencil. No console export stands in for a household we have not met.

What we sit with

Three moments that decide whether a companion app stays on the phone

  1. Pairing

    The carton, the QR card under the tissue paper, the relative who holds the phone, the error line that ends the evening. We treat a completed handshake as a household event, not a tick in a log.

  2. The glance

    A three-second look at the glass to check a collar, a temperature, or a child’s light. Stretching that glance into a programme is how towels end up covering a corner of the display.

  3. The hour after

    Skin still wet, a band still on a chair, a bus in fifteen minutes. A message that names an unfinished set can be read. A delayed “digest” often dies in a bag at KL Sentral.

Flagship study

Companion-app engagement study

Eight to twelve people, two observation windows in the fortnight after pairing, and a 12–16 page brief in English. Aisha Rahman leads. Daniel Tan joins for pairing week. We work in Bahasa Malaysia, English, or a mix, according to the household.

The walkthrough is two hours in Suite 1501–1502 or on a call. You leave with a marked copy, not a dashboard login.

Four to five weeks · from RM 18,500

Shorter studies when a full fortnight is more than you need

  1. On-mirror session review Watched sessions at the mirror itself: glance length, posture, the hand that reaches, and the moment someone turns back to the room. From RM 11,200
  2. Pairing-week review The unboxing, the QR code, the failed handshake, and the evening someone decides the phone app is optional. From RM 9,800
  3. Product-cycle engagement brief A shorter written brief when you already have session recordings or support notes and need them read before the next cut. From RM 6,400

From a walkthrough in Petaling Jaya

They sat through pairing in three homes where our own staff would have stepped in. The brief named the cousin who left with the login — we had been calling that a successful handshake for months. I still wish the walkthrough had been a full afternoon rather than two hours; we ran out of time on the after-session messages.
