The engagement-vs-platform gap

Evidenza runs the research for you. Many teams need to run it themselves.

Evidenza was early to synthetic research for B2B go-to-market, and its clients include enterprise brands such as ServiceNow and Mars. Its managed service covers research design, synthetic samples, qualitative interviews, quantitative surveys, analysis, a presentation, and a financial marketing plan, with results in 72 hours. A self-service platform is listed as coming soon on its site.

That model suits a CMO commissioning a launch plan. It is a poor match when a founder, a product manager, or an agency needs an answer this afternoon, with a budget that doesn’t need a proposal. Articos was built for that.

What you get when the platform is yours to run

Articos is self-serve from the first study.

Sign up, describe the question, and the study runs. Full report in under 30 minutes per study.

Message Testing

Segment reasoning for every variant.

Test up to 3 messaging variants in a single study. Each persona reacts independently and returns clarity scores, resonance signals, objection patterns, and the actual language your audience uses. Panels are engineered across five stance categories (Champions, Pragmatists, Skeptics, Blockers, Observers), so the study doesn't collapse into uniform approval.

On Evidenza

Positioning and creative modules with ABLE scoring, delivered inside a managed engagement.

Concept Testing

Which segments preferred which, and why.

Compare multiple concept directions across buyer archetypes in one study. You see which segments preferred which concept and the reasoning behind each preference.

On Evidenza

Custom synthetic studies designed with the Evidenza team.

A/B Testing

Reasoning behind every preference.

Pre-launch testing for landing pages, hero variants, pricing pages, and ad creative. No traffic needed, no ad spend. Each preference comes with structured persona reasoning.

On Evidenza

Variant comparison inside the Creative module, as part of a managed project.

User Interviews

50 personas, no recruitment, instant.

Interview up to 50 behaviorally diverse personas. The method is hypothesis-blind, so the interviewer doesn't steer toward the answer you hoped for. Follow up with Talk to Research for text questions, or start a live call for a real-time voice conversation with any persona.

On Evidenza

Real-time interviews with a synthetic sample, alongside quant surveys across thousands of respondents.

ICP Discovery for B2B Roles

Any role. Any seniority. Flat pricing.

Describe the audience and Articos builds the panel: software engineers, CISOs, procurement managers, C-suite buyers, RevOps directors. Cost per study stays the same regardless of how narrow the audience is.

On Evidenza

Personas and buying-center personas with journey maps, strong for C-suite and specialist buyers.

Reports That Ship

Client-ready, white-label, evidence-traced.

Every finding cites a specific persona quote, and every theme carries a confidence score. Six-stage adversarial review runs before findings land in your report. Export as PDF with white-label on Pro.

On Evidenza

Where a managed engagement runs out

Four moments when a proposal is the wrong first step.

Questions that have to be answered inside a sprint

A 72-hour turnaround is fast for an engagement. A two-week sprint can still close before the report arrives.

With Articos

The study starts when you sign up and the report is ready in under 30 minutes. Change the question, run it again, and compare.

Teams that want to see the price before they talk to anyone

Evidenza pricing is a custom proposal based on scope. You learn the cost after a demo.

With Articos

Published pricing: $79/mo Starter, $199/mo Pro, and $8–$20 per study on Pro. The trial is 7 days with 2 free researches and no card.

Teams that want to change the study themselves

In a managed engagement, edits go through the team that runs it. That works for a scoped project and slows down a test-and-adjust habit.

With Articos

You write the hypothesis, pick the variants, and rerun with a changed audience in the same afternoon. A first study can be running within 15 minutes of sign-up.

Agencies putting research into every project

A custom proposal per engagement makes research a line item that has to be justified each time. It tends to get skipped on the smaller projects.

With Articos

One $199/mo Pro subscription covers unlimited research across every client. White-label PDF reports are built in, so research becomes a pitch differentiator.

How synthetic personas match human research

Peer-reviewed methodology, not persona prompting.

Skepticism about AI-generated research is fair, especially for tools where a persona prompt is the whole method. Articos works differently.

Personas are engineered from Big Five personality science (NEO-PI-R, 30 facets), Hofstede's six cultural dimensions across 69 countries, Rogers' diffusion model, and ACT-R cognitive architecture. Every interview is hypothesis-blind. Every finding runs through a six-stage adversarial review.

Two jobs where Evidenza is the better pick.

Worth saying out loud.

01

Expert-led strategic engagements.

If you want a team to design the research, present to your executive group, and tie findings to a financial marketing plan, Evidenza's managed service does that. Articos is a platform you run yourself.

02

Brand and category measurement at scale.

Evidenza's Measurement module covers brand health, category entry point ranking, scenario modeling, and ROI forecasting across large synthetic samples. Articos interview studies run up to 50 personas.

For everything else — including B2B positioning, messaging depth, concept testing, user interviews, and any decision you need answered today — Articos is the fit.
