synthetic panels

our proprietary technology. we clone a fanbase from its real commenters into a panel you can ask anything — a sponsor, a cast, a cut — and get an answer in hours, not weeks. built from what the fanbase actually wrote, not personas someone invented.

a fanbase, grouped by what they wrote

ask this panel anything. answers come back per group.

the sonder method.
same four steps, whatever the study.

01

brief

you tell us the decision, in plain words. a sponsor, a shortlist, a cast, a campaign that just ran. we turn it into the questions, so two briefs from two teams get answered the same way and stay comparable.

02

scope

we pick the method — synthetic panel, live survey, tracking, or a mix — and the audiences. you see what runs and what it costs before anything is fielded or charged. that gate is built into our system, not left to a meeting.

03

field

our own software does the heavy lifting: building the audience, running the panel or survey, scoring against baselines, writing the first read. what takes a research house three weeks of people-time takes it an afternoon.

04

sign-off

an analyst reads every study before it leaves the building. you get the finding, the evidence behind it, the runs that didn't go our way, and the next questions worth asking. same week, usually same day.

the questions every media team ends up asking. we pick the method.

your data stays yours. nothing is fielded without your yes.

your data trains nothing but your studies

briefs, rate cards, contracts, uploads — used only for your research. never to train models for anyone else. deleted on termination.

built from what's public

audiences are cloned from public channel content. no data on under-18s is modelled. uk gdpr by design, not as an afterthought.

nothing is fielded without a yes

every study is scoped and priced before it runs. the approval step is enforced in the system that runs the research, so it can't be skipped in a hurry.

misses are part of the accuracy

every case study ships with the runs that were wrong. a number that hides its misses is a number you can't put in front of a buyer.
