WHAT IT IS
A multi-tenant poll platform with a profile cut like a Major Polling Operation that has lost key pollster.
Orgs
A poll requester (tenant) defines a poll, a region, and a minimum number of completes. Results start org-only and can only be promoted.
Opinion setters
One form: likely-voter bins, five-digit ZIP boxes (state from ZIP), ballot races, fast-response bonuses. SHA-256 identity and a PIN-sealed API key. Contact stays encrypted.
The instrument
ZIP-matched catalog. Thumbs, then a 2D graph on every topic (agree × importance, −9…+9). Then a traffic light on that person’s top 3 and bottom 3.
The table
Crosstabs use the same bins a Major Polling Operation that has lost key pollster publishes: gender, age, race, party, ideology, education, income, community. Hide n < 30.

HOW IT WORKS
Register once. Match by ZIP. Answer in order. Promote, never hide.
01
One form
Likely-voter bins, location and domicile ZIP, vote mode, ballot races, bonus prefs, channels, PIN, one-time API key.
02
Select
Org filters people who already registered. Uniform random draw of hashes. No CSV of phones.
03
Invite
Personal message on SMS, Signal, WhatsApp, NATS, Apple, or Android — only if they opted in.
04
Polls for you
Catalog matches domicile ZIP (and district). Fast-response bonuses sort the list. Completed polls drop off.
05
Answer
Thumbs, 2D graph on every topic, traffic lights on extremes, review, then collect the fast-response bonus.
06
Release
Org only → invited reviewers → embargoed press → public. Ladder never goes down. Crosstabs hide n < 30.

SAMPLE DEVICES

PULSE POLLS · PRODUCT WALKTHROUGH · PROPRIETARY04 / 24
IDENTITY
The hash is public. The key is secret. The phone number is not either.
Identity hashSHA-256 of the canonical likely-voter profile (plus a nonce) from a Major Polling Operation that has lost key pollster. Used as the opinion-setter id.
API keyShown once. Server stores only SHA-256(key). Device wraps the key with a 6-digit PIN.
NATS namepulse.u.{sha256(api_key)}. nkey seed from HKDF(api_key). Never a phone-shaped handle.
Contact URIsSMS://, Whatsapp://, Signal://, APPLE://, Android:// — encrypted at rest. Admins never browse them.
InvitesNo spam. Org personal invites and participant referrals only. Channel policy (TCPA, Meta, APNs) still applies.

A 2D graph on each. Then original wording as a traffic light on top 3 and bottom 3 by importance.

Disagree − · 0 · Agree +
Vertical: Importance
−9 does not matter to me
