Honest limitations

This is not a replacement for real research.

We say this here, in the methodology, and in the terms of service — because a tool that overpromises is a tool you can't trust.

What this is not
A replacement for real user research100% — never
Statistically significant data5 personas ≠ a survey
A substitute for recruiting real usersstill do that

What this is
A directional gut-check before you investminutes, not weeks
A filter for ideas before user interviewsshows what to ask

Who uses it

Pressure-test before you pitch

Run a positioning line or a pricing page through a panel before you show it to a single real prospect. Find out where your message breaks before it costs you a deal.

Filter before you build

Get a directional read on a feature idea between sprints. A panel that disagrees with you is more useful than one that validates you — it shows you what to ask in real user interviews.

Stress-test before launch

Poke holes in messaging against a panel built to push back. Find the objection you didn't think of before the campaign ships, not after you've spent the budget.
