CASE STUDIES · LIVE TOOLS · SHARED EXPLANATORY APPROACH

Case studies that show the
approach in action.

A concept test, a 1963 presidential approval survey, and NBA shot logs — built with the same shared architecture across commercial research, public opinion, and operational data. Three domains, one workflow — proof that the pattern travels.

Workflow That Travels

Start with the domain that interests you most, or compare across all three to see how the same underlying approach travels.

Commercial Research

Concept Test

In a 2025 craft-beer concept test, 54.7% of beer-buying consumers said they would purchase the brand. The case study asks what package perceptions drove that intent and how it shifts across income, region, and brand awareness.

Dataset

Beer concept-test consumer survey

Main outcome

Top-2-box purchase intent

Sample size

803 respondents

What you'll see

The full Mirror workflow on a commercial concept test, brand-team-ready

  • Five outcome models across the concept-test report (purchase intent, package appeal, brand fit, high-quality, premium)
  • Built in partnership with emi Research Solutions on anonymized survey data
  • Brand-team-ready: results in points and percentages, not log-odds
Public Opinion

JFK Approval

In November 1963, 57% of Americans approved of President Kennedy. The case study asks what drove that number and what might have changed it.

Dataset

Harris/Newsweek survey

Main outcome

Presidential approval

Sample size

~1,250 respondents

What you'll see

The full Mirror workflow on a real survey, end to end

  • Historical and political context for the original survey
  • Interactive tools for scenario testing and inspection
  • Direct path from descriptive record to explanatory analysis
Sports Analytics

NBA 3-Point Shots

In the 2014–15 NBA season, players made about 35% of their three-point attempts. The case study asks what shot conditions drove that rate and what might have changed it.

Dataset

SportVU shot logs

Main outcome

Three-point make rate

Sample size

~75,000 attempts

What you'll see

The same workflow on a different data shape — event-level, no sampling

  • Season and data-provenance framing for the SportVU sample
  • Multiple ways to simulate shot-condition changes
  • Direct comparison of exploration, tuning, and model-building paths

What the studies have in common

Each case study follows the same broad sequence from outcome to explanation to scenario testing.

1

Start with the outcome

A visible topline anchors the study and gives users a concrete entry point.

2

Inspect the source data

Users can move from descriptive distributions to more focused analytical questions.

3

Model the drivers

The explanatory layer makes it easier to see what measured factors matter under stated rules.

4

Test scenarios

Interactive tools let users see how outcomes change when conditions are altered.
