An authoritative playbook that unifies every Propensity Guru resource into a single roadmap for founders and operators.
Synthetic surveys aren’t a science project anymore—they’re the backbone of modern customer discovery. This mega guide pulls every Propensity Guru resource into one place so you can orchestrate research across SaaS apps, mobile products, and scrappy ecommerce plays without feeling lost.
Treat it like your control tower. Each section points to layered pillars and deep dives that walk you from persona creation to pricing validation to the moment you flip the launch switch.
1. Master the Core Methodology
Start with What Are Synthetic Surveys? for the plain-English explanation of persona fidelity, structured prompts, and why these panels line up with human studies.
Then read The End of Waiting to see how teams in different time zones shrink time-to-insight by pairing synthetic surveys with telemetry and compliance guardrails.
Finally, understand the limits of general chatbots with ChatGPT Is Not a Market Research Tool so you remember when to lean on a specialized system instead of a polite chatbot.
