A question becomes a comparison you can inspect.
We help research, product and marketing teams compare product concepts, offers, prices and campaign alternatives before committing resources. A study starts with the buyers who face that choice and the alternatives available to them.
Our team builds a simulated audience, runs surveys, qualitative interviews or comparison tests, and helps interpret the findings. You receive an interactive report with segment comparisons and recommendations, can explore the responses behind the findings and ask follow-up questions of the same population.
Our audience-building guide explains how source information, the audience definition and the research question fit together.

Keep the audience and the result together.
Sapien builds modeled populations using consumer and research information. Customer data and previous research can add relevant context. Which sources cover the audience and decision matters more than how vivid a simulated response sounds.
A modeled interview is a simulated response, rather than a transcript from an actual customer. Our accuracy article separates individual comparisons, measures and discrepancies so you can ask about evidence relevant to your study. Observed purchases, product use and group interaction need evidence appropriate to those outcomes.
