SIMULATION ENGINE (BETA)

Compare concepts before you commit to one.

Simulation Engine (beta) puts your concepts, pages or ads in front of a synthetic buyer panel. Compare preference, Trust, Value and Friction, then use the feedback to improve the version you will test with real customers.

Compare products, ads, landing pages, prices and services with synthetic feedback, then validate the ideas with real customers.

In beta; included with Growth.

BRING YOUR OWN

Compare the offers your team is already considering.

Bring an existing product concept, service offer, page or ad. Use the synthetic panel to compare alternatives and explain its preferences.

Paste it

Ad copy, a headline, an offer, a set of questions you want asked.

Upload it

An image or a PDF of the creative. The panel reads images.

Point at it

A URL. Your product page, your landing page, your menu, a competitor's.

Link a concept

Anything sitting in your Concept Studio gallery, sent across in one click.

Then pick what kind of test it is.

Put two variants head to head and see which one the panel prefers and by how much. Run the same offer at three prices and watch where buyers stop. Put an ad through before you spend on it. Audit a funnel before it goes live. Or run no asset at all and let the panel raise the friction points your own reviews and your category's complaints already point at.

9 WAYS TO USE IT

Use the feedback to decide what to change.

Compare options, investigate objections and refine the version you want to test with real customers.

Get an evidence-backed verdict within minutes without burning your ad budget.

Simulation feature tile: Challenger A/B

Compare two versions of the same offer.

Ask the synthetic panel to rate alternatives and explain its preference. Use the feedback to choose what to refine or test with real traffic.

Simulation feature tile: Pricing Sandbox

Explore how the panel responds to different prices.

Compare simulated reactions to your pricing options and inspect the reasons. Use the result to plan a real willingness-to-pay test.

Simulation feature tile: Pre-Flight

Check the message before the campaign launches.

Get synthetic feedback on the ad’s clarity, credibility and appeal, then use it to refine the creative.

Explore possible sources of hesitation before testing your funnel with real traffic.

Simulation feature tile: Pre-Launch

Find questions your launch page leaves unanswered.

Ask the synthetic panel to evaluate the offer and identify confusing copy or missing reassurance before you launch.

Simulation feature tile: Drop-off Decoder

Investigate where the offer could cause hesitation.

Use simulated feedback to identify possible concerns about the page, process or price. Compare those hypotheses with actual customer behavior.

Simulation feature tile: Health Monitor

Compare feedback across revisions.

Run the revised page or offer through the panel and compare the feedback. Use real analytics to establish whether conversion improves.

Use synthetic feedback to prepare sharper questions for customer research.

Simulation feature tile: Blind Spot Finder

Bring recurring objections into the next test.

Use review themes and category complaints to focus the questions you ask the synthetic panel.

Simulation feature tile: Competitor Scan

Compare your offer with a competitor’s.

Explore how the panel responds to differences in features, price and trust, then inspect the market evidence behind its reasoning.

Simulation feature tile: Focus Group

Ask a synthetic panel about the next idea.

Get feedback on a proposed feature or service within minutes, then use the questions it raises to plan further research.

TIME TO VALUE

Review the result and improve the next version.

Submit the alternatives, examine the synthetic panel’s ratings and read its reasons. Revise the concept or copy before running another comparison.

UNDER THE HOOD

See how different buyer priorities affect the comparison.

Synthetic personas consider your concepts using market context and different priorities. Their ratings help surface questions and objections for further testing.

What a simulation cannot tell you

The personas are synthetic. They are built from public evidence about your market, your own reviews and your competitors' pricing, not from your customers. They surface the objections a real buyer is likely to raise and the places your offer is weak, and every verdict links back to the evidence that produced it. They are not a statistically significant sample and they do not predict sales. That is why the panel is the first pass and real customers are the second.

The Mind
We Build the Mind
A psychological profile defines how each one thinks: motivations, risk tolerance, patience, trust sources, communication preferences.

2

Real Data
We Inject Your Market
Real reviews, competitor pricing, social sentiment, industry complaints, all absorbed as gut knowledge. They react to it, not recite it, with suspicion building across questions.

They Interrogate Your Asset
Follow-up probes that dig into every crack. If they hate your price in Q1 and can't find your warranty in Q2, by Q3 they're furious. Just like a real customer.

THE PANEL

Choose the buyer perspectives you want to test.

The panel offers ten synthetic personas, with six selected by default. Review who is included so you understand whose priorities shape the feedback.

The Dad
Tests: Practicality, durability, fair price
"Is it built to last? And is that price fair, or am I paying for the label?"
The Teen
Tests: Style, looks, speed
"It looks good, but the page took forever to load. I am out."
The Busy Mom
Tests: Convenience, time saved, easy ordering
"Three screens to reorder. I will buy the one that takes two."
The Regular
Tests: Consistency, service, feeling recognized
"I have bought this four times. Nobody here seems to know that."
Dana: The Straight Shooter
Tests: Straight answers, clear pricing, follow-through
"Give me the price, the ship date, and what happens if it breaks. Stop hedging."
The Value Hawk
Tests: Price, total cost, what the money buys
"$50 plus $8 shipping. What does the extra money actually buy me?"
Describe a persona in a sentence and we build the full profile. Demographics, psychographics, objection patterns, and all.

THE SMART STRATEGY

Use simulation to narrow the options for real customer testing.

Explore alternatives with the synthetic panel, then test the strongest candidates with real buyers. Use the simulation to sharpen that research and the questions you ask.

Inspect the market context behind the panel's feedback.

Choose the research method that fits the decision.

Compare the kind of evidence each method provides. A synthetic panel can help refine an idea; real customer research is still needed to validate demand.

GENERATE, THEN SIMULATE

Develop a concept from the diagnostic first.

Concept Studio (beta) can turn a market finding into a product or service proposal. Bring that proposal into Simulation Engine (beta) to compare and refine it.

What Concept Studio hands over

Concept Studio reads the same diagnostic the panel is grounded in and returns a named product or service concept with an engineering-level spec, a costed bill of materials, a recommended price and the margin it leaves, plus the renders, the landing page and the ad set.

What the panel does with it

One click sends the whole package here. You get a graded verdict within minutes, the blockers named, and who each fix flips. Fix what the panel blocks, regenerate, run it again.

What it costs

Concept Studio is in beta and included with Growth, the same plan as the panel.
