How we build high-fidelity audiences

Why it works
Our approach is:
Grounded in emerging academic research on synthetic sampling
Validated in side-by-side testing against human samples

More than just an LLM. LLM personas simulate an individual
or a population using natural language processing.

CHORUS research samples are built from:

Custom-built attributes based on complex screening criteria like used in traditional research

Trained on maslansky data from decades of language-focused research with human respondents

Using agent-based modeling (ABM) to generate thousands of individual agents, each with a unique persona that reflects the variability of real-world samples.

Synthetic Research that is Anything but Superficial

By using many of the same approaches we do in real-world research, you get a deeper understanding of what works, what doesn’t, and why.

Go beyond the persona

CHORUS builds thousands of individual respondents that represent the full range of attributes in your audience, allowing us to analyze the differences between Democrats and Republicans, millennials and boomers, or whatever segments matter in your audience.

See richer, more nuanced insights

Instead of a single aggregated response, CHORUS provides the full range of reactions, helping us to separate an average response from an intensely polarizing response that averages out in the middle.

Compare with real-world benchmarks

Because we seed our sample with real-world data and validate results against real-world surveys, we can use existing norms and benchmarks to evaluate the effectiveness of messages.

Strategy outputs

maslansky + partners applies its expertise in understanding how different audiences interpret and respond to language to deliver reports and recommendations that help you act with confidence.

Choosing the right opportunities for synthetic research

Even with the rapid advances and capabilities of LLMs and agent-based modeling (ABM), traditional qualitative and quantitative research with human respondents remains the gold standard. When the decision is truly high stakes, the topic is brand new or highly nuanced, or the content is complex, we can work with you to craft an efficient and effective approach for conducting research to achieve your objectives.

CHORUS can serve as a powerful complement, or even a replacement, across a wide range of use cases:
