How to Run a Synthetic Panel With 500 Respondents in Minutes

Paste a survey question, pick a market, and run 500–10,000 calibrated synthetic agents. Step-by-step for Lewsearch Study Builder.

Traditional panels take weeks to field and thousands of dollars to reach useful sample sizes. Lewsearch Study Builder compresses that into a self-serve flow: write your question, select response options, choose a calibrated market, and run.

Quick start

  • Sign in at lewsearch.com and open Study Builder
  • Paste your question and response options (single or multi-select)
  • Choose a market: Texas, California, Ohio, Columbus, and others
  • Select panel size: 500 for a fast read, up to 10,000 for stable crosstabs
  • Run the study and download the PDF report with marginals and commentary

Accuracy context

Lewsearch panels are benchmarked against Pew, Gallup, PPIC, and election canvass data. Pooled calibrated error across 460 independent questions is 7.47 percentage points. See lewsearch.com/methodology for panel-level detail.
