Notes from SpendLens.

SpendLens now has aligned benchmark/report flows, safer session handling, stronger production copy, and a cleaner launch posture across the public site and admin workspace.

SpendLens is moving from polished prototype to research-grade V1 with protected admin analytics, stronger branding, and a more configurable simulator foundation.

SpendLens was created to study spending choices through behaviour, not just self-reported survey answers.

A useful research simulator has to feel engaging enough to finish, but structured enough to generate defensible data.

Budget pressure does not only change how much people spend. It changes how they justify, defer, or emotionally frame a purchase.
