# Estée Lauder's ConsumerIQ

**Type:** Product / AI data platform (The Estée Lauder Companies).

**Role in source:** A second exemplar of successfully codifying retrievable institutional memory at scale — see [[concept-retrievable-layer]].

**Details:** ConsumerIQ consolidates **80 years of consumer data across 25 brands**. Like [[entity-mckinsey-lilli-d6|Lilli]], it demonstrates the value of the retrievable layer while leaving the discretion layer — judging whether retrieved insight applies to a novel context — firmly human.

**Canonical reference:** Estée Lauder corporate / press page describing ConsumerIQ.
