Founding research pilots · open now

Pressure-test product decisions before you recruit users.

Bring a landing page, a feature, a pricing page, an onboarding flow, or a product message. antestrata returns transcript-quality reactions from synthesized respondents with behavioural profiles, memory graphs, and traceable reasons behind each reaction.

Self-serve access comes later. Founding research pilots are open now.

What you get.

A structured reaction report covering:

  • What respondents understood.

    The frame they read your stimulus inside, in their own words.

  • Where they resisted.

    The specific sentence, claim, or moment that triggered hesitation, and the biographical reason it did.

  • What created trust.

    The cues that read as legitimate to this kind of reader, and why.

  • Which real-user segments to validate with next.

    A handoff back to recruitment with a sharper brief than you started with.

Custom scopes available. If your question does not fit a tier, tell us what you want to test and we will quote it.

Fit.

For you if

  • You are a founder, product lead, growth lead, or research-conscious agency.
  • You make weekly product decisions and you have outgrown chatbot-persona theatre.
  • You have a thing to test now and the recruitment timeline does not fit.
  • You want reactions you can read, not numbers you can aggregate.

Not for you if

  • You need statistically representative survey throughput at enterprise scale.
  • You need a regulated-industry compliance trail (SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA, and similar).
  • You are looking for population-level prediction rather than reaction-level insight.
  • You want a tool you self-serve today. Self-serve access comes later.

How a pilot runs.

One. You send us the stimulus and the segment you want reactions from. A URL, a Figma frame, a PDF, a paragraph of copy, whatever the buyer would actually see.

Two. We compose the panel. Existing respondents from the standing pool where they fit; extended on demand for segments the pool does not cover. You see the panel before we run it.

Three. We run the reactions. Each respondent reacts independently, in their own voice, from their own context.

Four. You receive the report. Readable transcripts, traced reasons, segment handoff. For Reaction Sprint and Segment Contrast tiers, we walk you through it on a call.

What we will not pretend.

  • The standing pool is two hundred respondents today. Some segments are richly represented; others are sparse. We will tell you which before you commit.
  • Respondents have rich biographies and no current-events awareness. They do not know what is trending this week. They do not know your specific brand context unless you tell them.
  • We are not a replacement for longitudinal research with real customers. We are the layer before recruitment, not the layer instead of it.
