Hard-to-reach audiences: the economics of human versus synthetic research
What production audience data tells us about where the economics of synthetic research may be most compelling. In a large sample of production audiences fielded on Evidenza, we estimate that 25% to 39% had estimated incidence below 10%, meaning relatively few people would be expected to satisfy all the requirements to qualify. Human research generally gets harder and more expensive as qualified respondents become scarce. Synthetic research does not require recruiting another qualified person for every additional response.
