Example from an earlier simulation

How does the market react to a plant-based energy drink focused on natural ingredients?

41%Would try it$2.40 · Price acceptance
Finally something without the junk. Natural caffeine from green tea sounds exactly right for me — I'd happily pay $2.40 for it if the taste holds up.
Jordan, 29 · Austin, TX — Progressive Urbanite
It's fine, but I usually stick with the big brands. I'd try it once, but $2.40 is a bit steep for an everyday drink.

About Reynard

Built on real census data. No guesswork.

Reynard uses public census population data and iterative proportional fitting to simulate a representative cross-section of the population — by age, region, education and value group.

A weighted, census-representative panel

A representative cross-section by age, region, education and value group.

Calibrated to census data

Statistical weighting keeps your results matched to the real population.

Example case — real simulation

Holiday bonus 2025: how the 8 mindset groups spend their €858 average

How much holiday bonus do you get in May or June — and where does it actually go in 2025? Reynard AI simulated 1 million Dutch people, weighted by national statistics and grouped into eight value groups. Inflation, higher travel costs and variable housing expenses are driving notably different choices per group this year.

What this is based on

  • Weighted to US Census Bureau data (American Community Survey, 5-year estimates) on region, age, household income and education.
  • 8 US value segments, modeled on public research (Pew Research, General Social Survey).
  • The pool consists of 1,020,001 simulated profiles; every segment is weighted to its real share of the US population.
  • Identities and personas come from a fixed database, not invented by the model.
