Kaiku · Synthetic Research

Hear the audience you can’t get in the room

In defence, finance and healthcare, you rarely have a single customer. A programme answers to operators, procurement, regulators, supply-chain partners and end users all at once — and the views that matter most are often the hardest to reach, whether cleared, constrained, or simply too scarce to convene. Kaiku builds a persona for each of those audiences and models how they’d respond, so you can pressure-test a concept, a message or a decision across the whole range before you spend a quarter chasing real-world access. Every study is fully traceable — you see the sources, prompts and assumptions behind each finding, never a black-box answer.

How it works
1
Define who you need to hear
We build synthetic respondents from real domain knowledge — the roles, contexts and constraints of the audience you’re trying to reach, from frontline operators to regulators.
2
Put your concept to them
We interview and stress-test your idea, message or design against those respondents at a speed and scale live research can’t match — and probe the disagreements, not just the averages.
3
Get findings you can defend
You get a clear read on where it lands and where it doesn’t — with the sources, prompts and assumptions documented, so the findings stand up to scrutiny.
Where teams use it
Fast, low-risk ways to sharpen your thinking before you commit budget or reach for hard-to-access users.
Concept & proposition testing Message & comms testing Policy & regulation reactions Stakeholder perspective mapping Edge-case & risk discovery Shaping hypotheses before live research
What makes it different
A simulation you can show your working for.

Most AI research hands you a confident answer and hides how it got there. We don’t. Synthetic research is a fast, sharp starting point — not a replacement for real users — so we’re explicit about what it can and can’t tell you, and every finding traces back to its evidence. Directional insight you can act on in days, with the caveats kept honest.

Got an audience you can’t easily reach — or a decision you’d rather test before you make it? Let’s talk.
