Hypothesis, the poll that knows when not to conclude

A question-sharing app that returns grouped answers by age, gender, and country while flagging when the sample is too small to mean much.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-06 issue.

Field notes

Hypothesis distributes questions by link and publishes only grouped totals, with breakdowns for age, gender, and country. Its privacy rule withholds a group until at least ten people are present, while its sample-results language explicitly warns that a percentage from eight responses may not mean much. The homepage also estimates how many additional answers could clarify a split, rather than presenting every early majority as decisive. Creating questions requires an account for moderation; answering is described as account-free.
