Pricing: Simulation and Query
Services are offered separately or frequent uses may subscribe at a discount.

Simulations
The costs are dependent on the services used. Simulation times are relative to the amount of
information needed and the complexity of the scenario. We have over 11 million
people/avatars in our system; so the number of people used in the run, the amount of info
attached to them, the number of events introduced and the length of time period for the
events all factor into cost of simulations. You make the choices as to how much info with each
person and the number of people, the geographical area and more.

Some examples follow:  Small simulations can be run for $5,000, such as whether people are
likely to purchase an item in the near future. To know if people are likely to pull their money
from investments or to learn the degree of confidence in the various investment sectors, you
will need larger simulations running about $20,000. If you want to have all the variables for all
of the individuals put into play, the cost is $100,000 on up, with the cost determined by the
amount of time and events portrayed.  For example, running a full-on simulation of total
economic meltdown in the full United States with societal breakdown, reactions, building of
vigilante groups, military intervention, epidemics and medical system breakdowns, survivalist
chaos, and more would utilize heavy run time and would cost over $700,000.

Data Mining
We also have full demographic info pulled the data, which starts at $2,000. If you need to
know who shops at your store or buys your products, who is a casual user/shopper and who
is loyal to your competition, this service will provide great insight. Knowing this level of
information allows you to better design products and advertising campaigns for higher profit
and more effect use of resources.

Queries
Unless otherwise noted, all query quotes are based on a minimum of 1,000 people, due to the
fact that a minimal number is necessary for statistical significance. You can request any
number of people up to 50,000 for queries. You can have simulations run from the entire
database population. Prepayment guarantees 24 hour turnaround for queries.
