SYNTHETIC CONSUMER RESEARCH · CPG & D2C

Know the market before the market knows you.

Pre-test pricing, packaging, claims and campaigns against a population that behaves like your buyers — and get the verdict, with the reasoning underneath, before you commit the budget.

WHAT CAME BACK
REPRESENTATIVE OF A SIMULATTE RUN — NOT A LIVE RESULT

Built for the people who own the decision.

Whoever has to defend the call brings it here first — and sees how the market answers before the meeting.

See how the platform works.

Question to verdict in a day, not a quarter. You build the population once and keep testing against it — and every real outcome you return makes the next run more accurate.

IN MINUTES
Select or build a pool
Pick a ready population, or build one from your ICP, a human panel, or your CRM.
MINUTES
Run the decision
Bring the price, pack, claim or campaign and put it to the pool — 2,000 buyers a run.
MINUTES
Get the verdict
What won, why it won, which segment disagreed, and what to change before you commit.
OVER TIME
Feed the real result back
Return what actually happened in market. The pool recalibrates, and the next verdict is sharper.
Speed on the first three steps; accuracy from the fourth. Each real outcome you return is measured against the model — so the population keeps converging on your actual market.

We don't invent personas. We ground them in real humans.

Three ways to build a pool — each tied more tightly to real people than the last. The more real signal in, the closer to a real respondent out.

WEB-GROUNDED
Distilled from the open web
Real buyer voice online — reviews, forums, communities — distilled into the triggers, objections and trust cues that move your category. No fieldwork, ready in minutes.
FOR DECISION-GRADE READS WHERE REAL CATEGORY VOICE EXISTS
CRM-GROUNDED
Built from your own buyers
Connect your customer data and we build the population from the people already buying from you — their segments, histories and verbatims.
YOUR DATA NEVER TRAINS OUR MODELS · YOURS TO DELETE
QUALIA-GROUNDED
Real voice, at scale
Real voice interviews — run at scale by Qualia — turned into personas that carry the felt texture of the decision, not just the demographics.

THE LIVE POPULATION

Pick a decider and interrogate it in the panel — or scan the wall and open any profile. Talking to one live takes an access code.

PERSONA INFRASTRUCTURE

Not respondents. Decision engines.

Each persona in the panel is a structured cognitive model — not a profile, not a survey-taker. A simulation of one person's specific memory, identity, and decision logic, calibrated against real-world ground truth.

Open the persona spec — the four things every persona carries
Purchase memory
Each persona holds a seeded history of what they actually buy in your category — anchored to real consumer-behaviour data, not invented at runtime.
Identity tensions
The gap between what they aspire to and what they actually do is modelled explicitly. Personas don't tell you what they wish they bought — they tell you what they buy.
Worldview anchoring
Four orthogonal axes — Institutional Trust, Individualism, Change Tolerance, Moral Foundationalism — calibrated against Pew Research benchmarks across 12 countries.
Category heuristics
Each persona reasons about your category the way real buyers do — the short-cuts, biases, brand-trust accumulation, and the moves they make when tired or in a hurry.
THE PLATFORM

Now run this against millions, not five.

Litmus and Mind are tasting demos. Simulatte is the platform — population-scale simulations on your category, custom calibration, team workspaces, and audit-grade methodology.

QUALIA · BETA · LIVE NOW

When you need the answer in their own words.

Qualia runs real spoken interviews with real people — hundreds at once, adaptive, following up on what was actually said. You get the interviews, the analysis, and a pool grounded in them.

  • SPOKENNatural turn-taking and follow-ups. It probes; it doesn't read a script.
  • AT SCALEHundreds of concurrent interviews, in the time one moderator does three.
  • COMPOUNDINGEvery interview can also seed a persona pool you keep testing against.

AI INTERVIEWER · READY

Qualia opens with something like:
“Tell me about the last time you switched a brand you'd used for years — what finally made you do it?”

Speak or type your answers — Qualia follows up on what you actually say, and you can stop any time.

One engine. Every kind of decision.

A rotating look at decisions run through Simulatte — the assumption going in, what the population found, and the number it moved.
