How to Run a Synthetic Panel With 500 Respondents in Minutes

Paste a survey question, pick a market, and run 500 to 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

Lewsearch panels are benchmarked against Pew, Gallup, UT/Texas Politics Project, PPIC, and election canvass data. Published accuracy: 7.47% mean absolute error on 404 ex-electoral questions of a 460-question benchmark vs real polls. See lewsearch.com/methodology for panel-level detail.
