A synthetic-sample vendor is a company that sells you a language model dressed up as a panel of survey respondents. Imagine one has just shown you a single figure and asked you to buy. You are the buyer. The number below is real. Ask what it means, one question at a time, and watch what is left of it.
Tap each question the vendor would rather you did not ask.

Illustrative figures, not a real vendor. The pattern is real: vendor headline numbers routinely arrive without a benchmark, a metric, a margin of error, a date, or any account of what the model was grounded on. Captured 18 August 2026.
