How does that actually work? Do lawyers get names and addresses of potential jurors in advance? How much in advance? Assuming they do, what exactly do you do with that information?

Let's say the juror is "Joe Smith from Alabama". What is the probability that:

1. he has a twitter account

2. he provided his full name in the account

3. Which of the following accounts belong to that particular Joe Smith: https://twitter.com/search?f=users&q=joe%20smith ?

What other "social media" data can you provide? Facebook? (it's mostly private and not available for low-grade stalking). Tinder?

What is your addressable market? How many jury selections there are in US where "millions are on the line"? And if there really are "millions on the line", can't they afford $250/hr jury consultant?

How did you validate your idea? How many attorneys at small companies did you talk to? What is the "incredible value" of attorney knowing twitter posts of a potential juror?
