market-simulation 0.9.6

AI market research simulation using NVIDIA Nemotron personas and Claude Code Agents

market-simulation

AI persona simulation via Claude Code — no local LLM or API key required.

Runs batched market research, copy testing, content audits, and more against
NVIDIA Nemotron-Personas (7 countries, 8M+ personas, CC BY 4.0).

⚠️ This is LLM-playing-LLM-personas. Results are hypotheses for early-stage validation,
not a substitute for real consumer research. Agreement rates skew high due to LLM positive bias.

How it works

HuggingFace streaming       Claude Code skill
(8M+ personas)   ──▶   filter target segment
                 ──▶   split into batches of 10
                 ──▶   run parallel sub-agents (isolated context per batch)
                 ──▶   collect responses → CSV + HTML report

• Streaming load — no full dataset download required
• Isolated batches — no cross-contamination between personas
• Output: output/YYYY-MM-DD_{topic}.csv + .report.html

Simulation limits

	Value
Default	20 personas
Maximum	30 (3 agents × 10)

Programmatic use

from market_simulation import load_pool, filter_pool, occupation_kw

df = load_pool('usa', sample_n=50000)
pool = filter_pool(df, province='CA', age_range=(25, 39),
                   occupation_keywords=occupation_kw('tech'))
sample = pool.sample(20, random_state=42)

English occupation filters: occupation_kw('tech'), occupation_kw('finance'), occupation_kw('healthcare'), etc.

Disclaimer

• Results are LLM-generated hypotheses — not survey or interview data.
• Use relative comparisons within a run. Absolute numbers (e.g. "65% positive") are inflated by LLM positive bias.
• Persona data is fully synthetic. Any resemblance to real individuals is coincidental.
• Enterprise-oriented personas (finance, healthcare, etc.) are not included in the dataset. Filters for those occupations may return thin pools.
• Persona data: CC BY 4.0 (NVIDIA). Attribution required when publishing results.
