Ask the people behind the numbers before the numbers report.

Put a question to the workers, managers and buyers an investment depends on, recruited from our digital twin of the US population. News comes in every hour, so they answer with this week in their heads.

How it works

Name the people

Say who the thesis depends on: IT managers at mid-size firms, small-business owners, renters in the Sun Belt.

We recruit them

From the standing population, by occupation, income, age and region. Nobody is invented for your question.

Ask, then ask why

Run the question set, then follow up on the answers that matter, across the whole group at once.

Read every answer

A short read on where they agree and where they split, with every answer in a spreadsheet.

A recent question

US IT managers and directors earning over $120,000 were asked whether they meet negativity about AI or data centres in their jobs. Twenty people, recruited from the population.

What you could ask

  • Whether IT buyers are pausing spend
  • How small-business owners read prices this quarter
  • How shoppers react to a price change
  • What a workforce thinks of an industry shift
  • How a news event lands in different regions
  • Which way sentiment moved between two waves

What it is, and what it is not

It is not a data feed or a forecast

It shows how a defined group is likely to think about a question, and where that group splits.

Narrow expert groups are the hard part

The population is built from the census. A buyer at one named retailer, or the distributors of one product, may not be in it in usable numbers. We tell you before we run, not after.

No non-public information

Every person is synthetic. Nothing they say comes from inside a company.

Send us your question

Tell us the decision and who you need to hear from. We will say plainly whether the population can answer it.

Thanks, we have it.

We read every question and will reply within two working days. If you would rather talk, book a call.
