## Methodology

A recent simulation by Minds shows that 72 percent of German homeowners are willing to actively adjust their electricity consumption, provided an annual savings of at least 150 euros is achieved. These results were validated with data from the Statistisches Bundesamt and illustrate that automated control solutions are the key to broad adoption of dynamic tariffs.

**72**%

Willingness to shift load for savings

**64**%

Demand for automated control

**31**%

Concern over unpredictable price spikes

Based on a simulated panel of 950 respondents. 85–95% accuracy validated against historical data.

## **Frequently asked questions**

### **How reliable are the simulation results from Minds compared to traditional panels?**

Minds' Target Audience Simulation achieves an average alignment of 85% to 95% with physical panels regarding preferences and objection structures. For specific questions and precisely anchored segments, the alignment can even reach up to 100%, representing a valid alternative to lengthy market studies.

### **How quickly does Minds deliver results for complex consumer surveys?**

While traditional market studies often require several weeks for recruitment and analysis, Minds delivers deep, data-driven insights in under an hour. The simulations are hosted entirely on secure EU servers and are 100% GDPR-compliant, as no personal data of real participants is processed.

### **What advantages does the Minds simulation offer over traditional market research methods?**

Minds makes it possible to generate up to 10,000+ responses per simulation without the high costs and time commitment of physical participant recruitment. The costs are a fraction of a traditional panel, as there are no recruitment fees per participant, and validation is performed directly against established national statistics.

### **How does this simulation help energy providers market dynamic tariffs?**

The simulation highlights consumers' exact financial thresholds and psychological barriers. Energy providers in the middle-of-funnel (mofu) stage can use these insights to optimally align their tariff models, communication strategies, and automation features with the target audience before launching expensive field tests.
