Focus blocks

How do people experience fixed focus blocks over several weeks?

Where the numbers come from

The data comes from language-model simulations. A model generates personas with a biography, life situation and resistances, then plays out three months for each one — from first encounter to everyday life after month 3. We evaluate the feelings reported per stage, the share of personas still active, and satisfaction.

These are not real people and not usage data. They are simulated journeys we use to test content before anyone sees it. The numbers show how a language model models these situations — they are not an empirical statement about any population and do not replace a study.

The journey across three months

Per stage: how many personas are still there, how satisfied they are on average (scale 0–10) and which feelings are reported most often at that point.
