A few useful answers

Before your first study.

No guaranteed performance prediction is offered. Ad testing explores audience reactions and helps you decide what to take into a live media test.

Ad testing is available in the Sunzu web app. The current MCP workflows are depth interviews, concept tests and UX tests.

Sunzu creates audience characters grounded in customer evidence and enriched with a behavioural corpus. They are simulations. Use findings to explore directions and sharpen questions; lived experience, unexpected behaviour and consequential decisions still need research with real people.
