01What we learned

Simulation flagged the failing creative in every pilot

In all three pilots, the simulated audience ranked creative variants in the same order as in-market results. The CPG client's planned lead variant was flagged by simulated Gen-Z personas within four hours, saving an estimated $340k in media. Confidence intervals held the observed lift in 11 of 12 cells.
