David Sterling

VP of Finance & Procurement

Skeptical
52 yrs · Chicago, IL

“A 4x price hike between tiers triggers an internal procurement review immediately. Unless Pro includes SOC2 Type II audit logs and SSO out of the box, we will stay on Starter or churn.”

Crux:Demands enterprise compliance before paying $199/mo.

Elena Ramos

Head of Growth

Pragmatic
33 yrs · Austin, TX

“I'd pay $199 without flinching if the seat limit expands from 3 to 10. But if you're charging $199 just for access to automated reporting, my team will hack it with spreadsheets.”

Crux:Values seat elasticity over isolated analytics features.

Alexandre Moreau

Lead Full-Stack Architect

Early Adopter
27 yrs · Montreal, QC

“The feature jump is clean, but make sure the API rate limits on Starter aren't artificially punitive, or developers will abandon the evaluation before reaching Pro.”

Crux:Wants unmetered API testing to prove ROI.
Boland-Berg Condorcet Jury Synthesis

All 3 buyer types reject artificial feature gates; seat pooling and security compliance are the sole drivers that justify a 4x price leap.

Agency fees, panel participant stipends, and moderation contracts make iteration cost-prohibitive.

Agreeable Hawthorne Bias

Real respondents want to be polite to interviewers, masking genuine pricing and switching hesitations.

Common Questions

Everything you need to know before generating your first panel.

Standard LLM prompting produces a single agreeable, sycophantic response that collapses toward the generic median. The Panelist generates 10 demographically diverse personas calibrated against US Census data, enforces a mandatory ≥40% contrarian quota to prevent groupthink, and mathematically audits every round with Shannon entropy and the Boland-Berg Condorcet jury theorem.
