Data & Provenance

Know what
grounds the twin.

Trace the evidence behind the answer, where it came from, and how it stays current.

  1. Start at the result.

    Each result links to the twin population behind the result, the sources used to build that population, and down to the population’s individual respondent.

    1. A twin result
    2. The twin population behind it
    3. The sources used to build that population
    4. Each individual respondent
    Each result links back through every step
  2. Read the evidence trail.

    Provenance is the evidence trail behind a result.

    The trail shows
    Sources
    Which sources ground the twin
    Origin
    Where those sources came from
    Freshness
    How current the source data is
    Calibration
    How the twin was calibrated and validated

    Native records source origin, approvals, and changes through its HumanOS governance layer.

  3. See what grounds the twin.

    Native digital twins are grounded in real customer and market evidence.

  4. Keep it current.

    Native refreshes twins as new data becomes available.

    The cadence is set with each client: daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, annual, or when a new study arrives.

    Different sources refresh at different rates

  5. Update, then validate.

    When a new study, tracker wave, or first-party dataset arrives, Native’s team reviews the data, adds it to the relevant twins, and validates before the updated twins go live.

  6. See the gaps, not guesses.

    The result shows the limitation instead of hiding the gap.

    Twins without enough context to answer a question do not respond, which lowers the response rate rather than filling the gap with a guess. The faithfulness score shows how much inference an answer required.

    Answered from its source dataNot enough context, so no answer

    The open circles lower the response rate. No guess fills them.

    Adding more twins improves coverage, but adding twins does not create context missing from the source data.

  7. Add your own research.

    Your organization adds its own research and first-party data to make twins native to your customers, competitors, category, and market.

    Common starting points are completed segmentations, brand trackers, usage and attitude studies, and concept tests.

Frequently asked questions

Native twins are grounded in real customer and market evidence, and every result traces back to the sources behind it.

Native digital twins are grounded in real customer and market evidence. Sources include Native’s foundation data, which draws on Native’s own data-provider agreements, Native’s own panels, multi-year research programs with established research providers, and public signals such as reviews, forums, retailers, and social discourse. Your selected intelligence adds respondent-level surveys, segmentations, trackers, interview transcripts, open-ended responses, and permitted first-party data such as CRM, loyalty, behavioral, and transactional records.

Twin Anatomy

Provenance is the evidence trail behind a result. The trail shows which sources ground the twin, where those sources came from, how current they are, and how the twin was calibrated and validated. Native records source origin, approvals, and changes through its HumanOS governance layer.

Yes. Each result links to the twin population behind the result, the sources used to build that population, and down to the population’s individual respondent.

Native refreshes twins as new data becomes available. The cadence is set with each client: daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, annual, or when a new study arrives. Different sources refresh at different rates; our Native foundation-data refreshes daily. Users can also see when the underlying data was imported and sort audiences by date.
