Better Market Research

Public discourse on controversial topics can often be fraught with fear—fear of judgment, of societal backlash, of getting "canceled" for expressing unpopular viewpoints. These fears stem from an increasingly polarized society where there is often little room for divergent opinions.

  Greetings, I’m the architect behind RAADZ , a groundbreaking tool striving to reimagine the conventional methods of market research. Our mission? To facilitate more truthful, more precise survey responses through an engaging approach, fueled by an intriguing psychological phenomenon: the False Consensus Effect.

Traditional surveys often encounter the hurdle of insincere responses due to fear of backlash or being “cancelled”, particularly when probing sensitive subjects. This is where the False Consensus Effect presents an innovative solution. In RAADZ, we’ve integrated this co
