SECTOR / POLICY

Know which message moves your district before the window closes.

For comms directors, chiefs of staff, and committee teams: test floor speeches, public comments, releases, and donor messages before the news cycle takes the decision away. Subconscious turns one plausible frame into thousands of measured constituent experiments.

0-7 days

Typical benchmark polling fieldwork takes most of a week. The money is in owning the frame while the issue is still live.

THE DECISION

Old world

Use a $40 incentive and generic communications to drive program enrollment. Reaching 110,000 households costs $4.4M, with little evidence about which message or incentive caused participation.

New world

Test incentive levels, notice designs, message frames, and enrollment flows by household type. Increase modeled enrollment from 7% to 11%, a 57% relative lift, while reducing the effective incentive to $25. The same 110,000 enrollments cost $2.75M, 37.5% less.

Enroll 57% more households without spending 57% more.

How the figure is built

Target enrollments
110,000
Incentive today
$40
Incentive under the ranked design
$25

110,000 × $40 = $4.4M today, versus 110,000 × $25 = $2.75M

ONE CAUSAL ANSWER

Which frame wins the room before the statement goes out?

Rank the floor speech, press release, public-comment frame, and donor message by what changes support, action, and comment quality in your district or state.

MODEL-PREDICTED

Predicted first, then measured.

The method is validated against published randomized trials in health and policy, where the correlation with real human outcomes peaks.

0.73 mean Spearman correlation across 43 well-designed replications, peaking at 0.93 in health and policy, across 300 published papers.
