Tiresias offers a predictive psychometrics platform that generates thousands of individualized cognitive profiles to power large‑scale agent‑swarm simulations of human behavior. The system runs in a secure sandbox and has demonstrated high cross‑domain accuracy, achieving Pearson correlations up to 0.93 when forecasting real‑world outcomes such as county‑level vaccine uptake and mask usage, using retrospective, held‑out data from over 3,000 US counties.

Problem
Organizations lack reliable methods to anticipate how large populations will respond to policies, products, or campaigns, leading to costly trial-and-error approaches and missed strategic opportunities.
Solution
Tiresias provides a predictive psychometrics platform that generates thousands of individualized cognitive profiles within secure, sandboxed agent‑swarm simulations. By embedding these agents in realistic social network structures, the system models peer influence and psychological susceptibility to forecast collective behaviors such as vaccine uptake or mask usage. The platform validates its predictions against real-world county‑level data, achieving Pearson correlations up to 0.93, which demonstrates strong alignment with observed outcomes. Users can leverage these high‑fidelity simulations to explore “what‑if” scenarios across consumer, political, and strategic domains, enabling data‑driven decision making without costly field experiments. The service also offers synthetic focus groups that rapidly produce calibrated persona responses for messaging and product testing.
Target Audience
Primary customers include marketers, product managers, policy analysts, and strategic planners who need accurate behavioral forecasts for large populations across consumer, political, or public‑health contexts.
Features
- Generation of thousands of customized cognitive profiles per simulation run
- Secure sandbox environment for isolated agent‑swarm modeling
