Noise auditing
$2500 per noise audit
Noise audits reveal the typically large, and usually undesirable, variability – “noise” – in people’s judgments when evaluating the same information.
A 1000minds noise audit involves simple case studies of real or imaginary alternatives being presented to participants to evaluate using their intuition. The revealed variability often points to the need for a better decision-making approach. A noise audit is often used as the first step to other 1000minds processes.

- Extensive reporting for easy interpretation and transparency
- AI assistant for generating ideas and getting started quickly

“Easy to use and very useful for any complex decision-making question. Kudos to the creators for creating such a wonderful tool!”
Preferences surveys / discrete choice experiments (DCEs)
$9500 per survey/DCE
A 1000minds preferences survey, or DCE, involves participants answering questions based on trade-offs between decision-making criteria or attributes to reveal their relative importance.
From people’s answers, 1000minds codifies the relative importance of the criteria/attributes as weights for each individual participant and on average. These weights are used to rank any alternatives you are considering.
- Adaptive, choice-based conjoint analysis (CBC) and DCEs
- Easy to set up, customizable surveys in any language
- Valid and reliable, peer-reviewed PAPRIKA method: pairwise comparisons of partial profiles, the most user-friendly questions for participants
- Aggregate and individual participant-level results for market segmentation and cluster analysis
-
Automated conjoint analysis results in real time:
- Attribute rankings
- Attribute “relative importance” ratios
- Market shares
- “What if” simulations based on changes to alternatives’ attributes
