Technology for progressive power

Meet your audience before they meet you.

Synthetic audiences and rehearsal tools for the people who write the policy, stand for the seat, run the patch and knock the door.

A LeftForward initiative, working with campaigners across Europe.

Persuasion practice Screen recording

Set the situation, have the conversation with a simulated person, then read the coach notes.

Illustrative. The platform shows how an argument behaves in a room. It does not estimate vote share and it is not a poll.

The toolkit

AI built on progressive values.

01 · Test

Test it before it meets a citizen.

Put a policy, a line or a whole conference speech in front of a population and find out where it breaks.

Policy iteration
Message testing
Attack-line war-gaming
What they’ll hit you with, and how it lands on citizens
Trade-off testing
Forced choice between two things your coalition both wants
Speech and slogan testing
Fundraising appeal testing
Ad pre-testing
Message durability
Does it survive a week of argument, not just first contact

02 · Rehearse

Rehearsal, as many times as you need.

Every format you’ll face, with an opponent who never gets tired and a room that tells you the truth.

Debate prep
Interview prep
Selection and shortlisting
Where careers are decided and nobody gets coaching
Hustings
Many voices at once, which behaves nothing like a two-way
Doorstep Q&A drill
Personal narrative testing
How the bio lands before it’s fixed in print
Vulnerability self-audit
What opposition research finds, and whether it moves anyone
Social media testing
Including what the reply thread does to the post

03 · Localise

Turn a national message into a local one.

The job between the campaign and the doorstep: making the argument make sense on your patch.

Constituency and ward briefings
Message localisation
The same policy, argued for the place it’s argued in
Objection tracking
What canvassers are actually hearing this week
Train-the-trainer packs
Volunteer readiness
Who has practised, who hasn’t
Scenario planning

04 · Practise

The conversation worth getting right.

You shouldn’t have to practise a hard conversation on a real person. Here you can practise it fifty times.

Doorstep conversations
Phone bank and text bank
Deep canvassing
Evidence-backed, difficult, almost impossible to train at scale
Relational organising
The conversation with your uncle, not a stranger
Making the ask
Volunteer, donate, host
Hostility and de-escalation
Safety training, not performance training
This week’s objections
Coaching and progress

The engine

Audiences simulated from research with real people.

All four rooms run on the same engine. Each sim is modelled on a real person’s own answers, given in an interview or a survey, not on a demographic bracket and not on a persona a language model invented. Responses carry real human variation, which is the difference between a room that argues back and a room that agrees with you.

Assumptions stay visible, test conditions stay comparable, and the evaluation logic can be reviewed and repeated. Answers come back in minutes rather than weeks, for a fraction of what conventional research costs.

And it sharpens. What canvassers hear on real doorsteps feeds back in, so a campaign that has used the platform for a year is arguing against a harder room than one that started last week.
