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.

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.
