Frequently Asked Questions
How many Thinkers should I create?
Start with 3–5 representing key perspectives. More is better for complex decisions, but 5 captures most diversity.
Is this like user research?
Similar but faster. User research asks real people; Thinkers panels simulate what diverse perspectives would say.
How accurate are the predictions?
Surprisingly accurate for broad understanding. Don't use for precise forecasting—use for exploration.
Can I keep my Thinker panel?
Yes. Thinkers.pro stores them. You can test new decisions against the same synthetic population over time.
