## Methodology

A target audience simulation of 850 digitally-native Australian parents conducted on the Minds platform reveals that 72% of parents experience severe anxiety regarding in-game micro-transactions, while 64% demand strict parental approval gates for peer-to-peer payments. Validated against Australian Bureau of Statistics demographic benchmarks, the study highlights a critical trust gap in kids' fintech apps.
