📝 Abstract
Digital twin simulations show promise, but current empirical evidence suggests that the approach should be tested before being deployed in any particular context. To lower the friction for researchers and practitioners to test and deploy digital twin simulations, this brief commentary introduces ExploraTwin (https://exploratwin.org), an open-access, non-profit research platform for digital twin survey simulations. ExploraTwin supports two modes. In survey mode, researchers can upload a Qualtrics survey file or create a survey within the platform; select an available sample of digital twins; configure and run the simulation, and export analysis-ready data. In panel mode, researchers can assemble a small group of twins for open-ended conversations, document annotation, and moderated, focus-group-style voice discussions. We also developed CroissantTwin, a standardized data format for adding samples of digital twins to the platform. We demonstrate the survey mode workflow by using the platform to replicate 19 experiments on digital twins from the Twin-2K-500 dataset. ExploraTwin's survey execution fidelity is high: 99.6% of 197,000 answer units returned a structurally valid response on the first run.
