What you can do

Put your question to the people you need to reach.

Every twin answers in the terms of the real person it was built from. Talk to one, compare a few side by side, or ask a whole panel and see the answers split by place, age and household.

TwinSetu’s conversation screen. The question: “But if I suggested a new brokerage account to you, which seems interesting to you, would you subscribe to it right away?” The twin, who goes by the made-up name Prasanta, answers: “Not right away, no. Even if it sounds interesting on the surface, my instinct for anything involving money would be to research it thoroughly first.” It goes on to say it would ask for the details and not drag its feet for long if they checked out.

A real answer

One twin, one question.

This is TwinSetu’s own conversation screen: the latest question put to one twin, and its answer. The twin goes by a made-up name; the person behind it is real.

Three ways to ask

One person, a few, or a whole panel.

  1. Talk to one

    A conversation with one person’s twin: ask, follow up, and see what each answer rests on.

  2. Ask a few

    Put the same question to a handful of twins side by side and compare how they answer.

  3. Ask a whole panel

    One question to everyone on a panel at once, with the answers split by place, age and household, and the reasons behind them.

Who it is for

Thirteen kinds of team, and what they might ask.
