Hybrid: Panels + AI

The best of traditional research and predictive AI. Finally.

Vault fields traditional panel research through the vendors you trust, runs real predictive AI on the same title, and aggregates both into one report. Built for the calls creatives actually have to make.

How it runs

Traditional research and predictive AI. One read.

Vault fields the traditional panel through established research vendors and runs the predictive AI study in parallel, same title, same week. We aggregate both into a single, calibrated read. Your team gets one answer, instead of two reports to reconcile.

The traditional side

Traditional panel research, fielded by the vendors you trust.

Vault commissions panel work through the established research vendors the industry already uses. Real humans, recruited through established vendors. Your creative stays inside the panel partners and security protocols your research team has already cleared.

+Fielded by established research vendors. Same screeners, same field rigor.
+Live reactions captured during the watch.
+Your creative ships through panel vendors your team has already cleared. No new vendor to vet, no new security review.

The AI side

Not a chat wrapper.

Plenty of platforms now claim to have AI. Most are pointing a general-purpose chat model at last year’s headlines and asking it to guess. Vault is a domain-specific predictive system trained continuously on every real audience outcome since 2015. Calibrated on the metrics buyers and bosses actually use to defend a call.

Why hybrid

For creatives to move the needle, there is no other way.

Pure panels miss the scale. Pure AI misses the room. Synthetic panels miss the humanity. Vault Hybrid is the only approach that delivers all three, with the bias of each method checked by the other.

Limits the bias.

The panel keeps the AI honest. The AI keeps the panel scaled. Two methodologies, each correcting the blind spots of the other, vocal-minority bias, sample bias, demographic skew, all checked.

The best of both worlds.

The voice and the forecast. The texture and the scale. The lived reaction and the population read. No trade-off between rigor and reach. Both, on one report.

Built for the creative.

Iterate the cut. Test the scene. Score the trailer. For the first time, the creative gets a tool that helps them move the needle before launch.

There is no other way.

Synthetic panels miss humanity. Pure panels miss the slate. AI-only platforms miss the room. Only Vault Hybrid delivers all three at once.

What everyone else is missing

Only Vault sits in the middle.

A real panel tells you what 1,000 viewers felt. Predictive AI tells you what the next 10 million will look like. The decision-maker brings the craft and pattern memory the model cannot replace. Vault is the only place all three meet on the same dashboard.

Mixing traditional with Vault’s predictive AI is a game changer. It allows us to get the voice and the accuracy of viewership that no other market research firms can enable. Meanwhile, we still get the insight that AI cannot match. It’s the only product we use.

Frequently asked questions

What is Vault, in one paragraph?

Vault is an AI audience prediction platform built on a world model trained on 60,000+ titles across film, TV, and games. We turn any input, whether a logline, script, trailer, slate calendar, or a question in plain English, into an audience prediction calibrated against every release that came before. Studios, networks, and streamers use Vault to pressure-test before they greenlight, position before they launch, and simulate before they release.

How accurate are the predictions?

Vault AI maintains over 85% average accuracy across core predictions. Accuracy is measured by comparing every prediction against actual in-market performance once a title launches.

How is Vault different from a general LLM?

General LLMs are trained on the open web. They generate text that sounds plausible. Vault is a domain-specific world model trained on a structured dataset of every released title and every signal we could index against it. The model returns predictions calibrated against ground-truth performance data, with the comp evidence one click underneath every score. We don’t hallucinate audience numbers.

How long does setup take?

Most teams are running their first reads in week one. Full integration with internal slate data, brand-specific comps, and custom audience targets is in place in four to eight weeks depending on data scope and security review.

Where does my data sit?

Customer data lives in a dedicated single-tenant environment. Your scripts, slate, and proprietary research never train the public model. SOC 2 Type II, GDPR, and CCPA compliant. Region-specific hosting available on request.

What inputs does Vault accept?

Anything that carries story signal. A two-line logline, a full script, a treatment, a trailer cut, a poster, a slate calendar, or a question in plain English. Vault extracts the DNA from any input and pattern-matches it against the content universe.

How do you measure model lift for our team?

Most enterprise customers run a calibration study in the first 90 days. Your team’s last 12 months of decisions, scored retrospectively against the model’s predictions, plus a forward holdout of 5 to 10 active titles. We publish the lift study to your team and use it to tune the model to your slate.
