Synthetron can help central and local government bodies to stay in touch with the concerns and desires of citizens.  Policy makers can ensure that plans accommodate widely shared concerns amongst relevant groups of citizens. This can avoid time consuming procedures initiated by critical action groups or ensure that policies decided will include the relevant measures for successful implementation.

Concrete proposals for laws and regulations are usually prepared by experts and specialized committees. Synthetron can help to test concepts with citizens who will be affected one way or another by the eventual change. This concrete and focused feedback can take the sting out of the proposal, increasing its chances to get accepted.

Policy makers can now understand citizens perceptions and concerns on a specific topic and get insight to what is really important in the eyes of a group of citizens and what is less so. Synthetron has been used to obtain feedback from citizens eg surrounding a refinery to understand what the specific concerns were following some hick ups creating disturbance in the neighbourhood.
