Methodology

How we build audiences.

Real people, modeled with rigor. We recruit and screen actual audience members, profile them on the HEXACO model, and fuse qualitative depth with quantitative structure to build Brand Soulmates: 1:1 counterparts validated to 93% fidelity by held-out replication against the same audience. Digital Twins extend the model for fast, directional reads at scale. Everything below is the method, and the evidence behind it.

Two models, one standard of evidence. Brand Soulmates are validated against fresh, held-out responses from the audience they represent, which is where the 93% fidelity figure comes from. Digital Twins trade that validation for speed and breadth. You always know which one you are using, and exactly how far to trust it.

Personality Is Shifting. So Should Your Brand.

Personality is not a vibe; it is measurable. HEXACO isolates six traits, and Emotionality (empathy, anxiety, resilience) shows measurable movement over time. Because Brand Soulmates are profiled on HEXACO and validated to 93% fidelity, you can locate where your audience sits on each trait now, and reason about how that shapes receptiveness to tone, voice, and positioning. This is not trend-watching; it is precision. And because the read is built on psychographics, which move slowly, it holds its shelf life rather than expiring the week after the readout.

How it works

People, not data points.

Each Brand Soulmate is built from a real, screened participant: recruited, profiled on HEXACO, and modeled from fused qual and quant into a 1:1 counterpart you can interview repeatably. Digital Twins are the faster, scaled companion for directional reads.

Audience Recruitment

Recruit from the channels and communities your audience already uses, with multi-step screening to remove low-quality and inattentive respondents. Sample construction is deliberate, not convenience-based.

Audience Profiling

Profile each participant on the six HEXACO traits to build a psychological fingerprint, the construct that lets the model reason about motivation, not just observed behavior.

Qual + Quant Integration

Pair open-ended qualitative responses with structured quantitative measures, so the model captures both the reasoning and how it distributes across the audience.

Brand Soulmate generation

Combine survey data, HEXACO profiling, and behavioral modeling into 1:1 Brand Soulmates, then validate against held-out responses to land the 93% fidelity figure. Digital Twins are generated for faster, directional reads at scale.
