Questions & Answers

What sets you apart from others in your industry?

We've worked in policy settings, published leading Social science x AI simulation research and build software for governments at Palantir. Our backgrounds and blend of experiences are necessary to take frontier model simulations to the next level. Currently great at emulating focus groups and in marketing settings - to make them useful on a societal scale, we have to model thousands of individuals and groups under specific conditions & interventions, in a trusted and transparent manner. This requires counterfactual reasoning, large agent banks, and an interpretability layer that traces which agents drive which outcomes and with what confidence. Benchmarks, evaluations and training data for these problems in the policy space are sparse, we're building the data, infrastructure and evals to advance frontier models and simulations in the fields of social science and policy.
