audience
Let an agent explain audiences and their kinds, describe how audiences are measured and studied, support event and safety questions, and separate the sense of a formal audience with a dignitary.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain audiences and their kinds, describe how audiences are measured and studied, support event and safety questions, and separate the sense of a formal audience with a dignitary.
The group of people who attend, watch, listen to or read a performance, event, broadcast or work, from theatre, concert and sports crowds, including organised supporter groups such as ultras and club supporters, to broadcast and online audiences measured by ratings; audiences are studied in media and cultural research, targeted in marketing, managed for safety at venues, and the word also names a formal meeting granted by a dignitary.
What it is for: People attending or receiving a performance or work.
It can be explain kinds of audience; describe measurement and research; support event and safety questions; separate other senses.
