## Methodology

A target audience simulation of 380 commercial insurance brokers conducted on the Minds platform reveals that 58% of brokers are highly likely to shift premium volume away from insurtech platforms that bypass traditional relationship-based negotiations in favor of rigid, automated underwriting. This simulation, validated against Kantar industry benchmarks, highlights a critical loyalty risk for speed-first digital platforms.

Based on a simulated panel of 380 respondents. 85–95% accuracy validated against historical data.

## **Frequently asked questions**

### **How does Minds simulate commercial insurance broker behavior with such high accuracy?**

Minds utilizes a robust three-stage simulation model that achieves an average of 85% to 95% agreement with physical panels. By anchoring the simulation in real-world broker surveys, CRM data, and established demographic and psychographic models, Minds ensures that simulated brokers reflect authentic market behaviors, reaching up to 100% agreement on specific underwriting preference questions.

### **How fast can an insurtech platform run a broker loyalty simulation on Minds?**

A complete simulation of 380 or even up to 10,000+ responses is delivered in under 1 hour. This allows product and marketing teams to test positioning, platform features, and underwriting workflows rapidly before launching digital portals to the broker market.

### **Is the data used in Minds simulations compliant with privacy regulations?**

Yes, Minds is 100% DSGVO-compliant and hosted entirely on secure EU-servers. The platform does not process or store any personal user or participant data, making it a highly secure alternative to traditional human panels that require complex data-sharing agreements.

### **How does the cost of a Minds simulation compare to traditional broker research panels?**

Minds delivers deep, validated insights at a fraction of the cost of a classical research panel. Because there are no per-respondent recruitment costs or multi-week field coordination fees, insurtech platforms can run continuous iterations of target group testing within their existing product development cycles.
