01The situation

Why this exists.

Run your existing messaging past simulated customers from the country you are entering. See what lands, what confuses them, and what outright annoys them.

Today

A patchwork that breaks.

  • A shared spreadsheet nobody opens on time
  • Prompts copy-pasted into a chat window
  • A contractor who disappears for two weeks
  • Output that lands in a different shape every run
With Simulate

A workflow that ships.

  • One brief, one cadence, one place to read it
  • Every claim cited, every step reviewable
  • A finished artifact in your team’s format
  • You enter new countries sounding like you actually belong there.
02The playbook

Four moves.

Simulate runs each move with a preview attached — so you know what lands before you ever hit send. Skip freely once you know which parts carry the weight.

  1. 01Kickoff

    Describe the country and the people you want to reach.

    Simulate starts with the brief and asks only for what's missing. No boilerplate intake form, no setup meeting.

  2. 02Gather

    Load your current landing page and messaging.

    Sources are pulled, cleaned, and cross-checked against prior runs — every claim carries a citation you can trace.

  3. 03Reason

    Simulate runs hundreds of local simulated customers.

    The agent thinks out loud where it matters — trade-offs named, assumptions surfaced, judgments explained.

  4. 04Draft

    Rewrite for that culture before launch.

    A first draft lands in the format your team already uses. You edit the last 10%, not the first 90%.

04What you need

Inputs in, outputs out.

Simulate runs on the inputs on the left and hands back the artifacts on the right. Skip any input — the agent will ask for it the first time it needs it.

What it takes in
  • One source of truth (CSV, CRM, or warehouse)
  • A one-paragraph brief on the goal
  • The KPI you want to move
What it hands back
  • A scored, cited brief you can forward
  • A structured file for downstream automation
  • An alert when anything material changes
05What lands on your team

A finished artifact, not a todo list.

Every run ends the same way — a packaged brief in the channel your team already reads. Here's a preview of what shows up.

Rehearse a new market — ready for review

Here's the brief for this week. I ran the playbook end-to-end, flagged anything that shifted against last run, and packaged the output for Slack and the shared drive.

  • Describe the country and the people you want to reach.
  • Load your current landing page and messaging.
  • Simulate runs hundreds of local simulated customers.
  • Rewrite for that culture before launch.

06Common pitfalls

Where teams stall.

Three ways we see this go sideways — and how to avoid each one.

Pitfall 01

Pointing the agent at stale or half-connected data. Clean the source once, compound every run after.

Pitfall 02

Running it once and forgetting. Put it on a weekly cadence so the numbers actually move.

Pitfall 03

Skipping the first review. Check the first run by hand — trust compounds from there.

07Questions

Before you start.

Usually one source is enough to see value. Simulate can run on a CSV paste for the first pass; connect the CRM, the data warehouse, or the tool of record once you want it to run on its own.

Most teams put this on a weekly cadence. That's the sweet spot between "too noisy to read" and "too stale to act on". Adjust once you see how the numbers behave.

Whoever owns the downstream action. Simulate hands back a finished result — the value is in somebody actually reading it and shipping the decision the same day.

It usually isn't. The first pass is calibration — tell Simulate what was off, rerun, and the second is close. By the fourth it reads like a teammate.
