Traditional research tells you what people say, not what they do

Focus groups take weeks. Surveys have response bias. A/B tests cost real revenue. By the time you know, you've already launched.

Traditional approach

6-8 weeks. 200 respondents. Results after you've already committed.

Two lenses on consumer behavior

Measure sentiment or predict impact. Same engine, different questions.

Spectrum

Consumer Sentiment

Measure how populations feel about any topic across European markets. Validated against real survey data within 4pp accuracy.

  • Score distributions (0-10 scale) by country
  • Demographic breakdowns by age, education, region
  • Cross-market comparison
  • Calibrated against ESS11 real responses
  • Native-language simulation per market

Refract

Change Impact Prediction

Predict how consumers react to business changes before you implement them. Identify risk zones and protect revenue. Validated against YouGov tracking data.

  • Abandonment rate prediction per segment
  • Risk zone identification (who leaves, who stays, why)
  • Inertia modeling — captures real switching costs and habit persistence
  • Brand-specific context (competitors, relationship history)
  • Financial grounding — agents know their actual income and savings
  • Archetype-aware news exposure shapes pre-existing mood

Why Mimea?

Rooted in Mimesis — the ancient Greek concept of faithfully mirroring reality. In philosophy and science, mimesis describes the art of perfectly imitating real life and human behavior.

That's exactly what we do: create ground-truth simulations that mirror how real populations think, feel, and decide. Not synthetic hallucinations — faithful reproductions of human behavior, grounded in real data.

How It Works

The scientific methodology behind validated synthetic consumer simulation.

1. Grounded Synthetic Population

Every synthetic consumer is built from real census and survey data — Eurostat demographics, ESS microdata, and national statistics. Each agent has a statistically accurate profile including income, education, occupation, and financial situation that reflects their country's actual population distribution.

2. Multi-Layer Behavioral Model

Agents don't just have demographics. They carry behavioral profiles calibrated from 87,000+ real survey respondents, consumer archetypes validated per country, and cultural context layers that capture how different populations actually make decisions.

3. Contextual Awareness

Simulations are grounded in real-world context: current economic conditions, recent news from major national media, brand relationships, and habit patterns. This prevents the common AI failure of treating every question in a vacuum.

4. Adaptive Calibration

We've developed a proprietary calibration system that corrects for known AI biases in consumer simulation. The system learns from validated surveys and applies corrections without needing the answer in advance — producing accurate predictions for questions that have never been asked before.

5. Validation

Validated against multiple real surveys across different question types and countries:

Sentiment accuracy: ±0.37 points on 0-10 scales without any reference data

Brand impact: Consumer reaction groups match real tracking data within target ranges

Segment ordering: Correctly identifies who is most/least affected across demographics

6. Transparency

We're honest about what synthetic research can and cannot do. It excels at relative comparisons, segment identification, and directional predictions. We continuously validate against new survey releases and publish our accuracy metrics openly.

Built in Europe, for Europe

Mimea is a European company using European infrastructure. Our data pipeline runs entirely on EU-based systems, our training data comes from European institutions (Eurostat, ESS, national statistics offices), and our models are deployed on European cloud infrastructure.

This isn't just a compliance choice — it's a design philosophy. European consumer behavior has nuances that US-built systems miss: post-communist trust gaps in CEE markets, Dutch directness, the British say-do gap, French institutional skepticism. We model these because we live in them.

Data sovereignty: All consumer simulation data stays within European jurisdiction

GDPR-native: No personal data processed — synthetic agents, not real people

European data sources: Eurostat, European Social Survey, national census offices

Independent infrastructure: No dependency on non-European AI providers in the production pipeline
