We help you defeat the enemies of collective intelligence.
Self-silencing
People avoid speaking up, especially when they are vulnerable and they hold unusual information and minority opinions.
Polarisation
Discussions tend to be dominated by a few, usually more powerful and radical individuals, and everyone else feels pressured to conform.
Complexity
The newer and more complicated the problem, the more and diverse the opinions shared, the harder it becomes to make sense of it all!
How does it work?
1)
You define a question and the participants to invite.
2)
Names are visible, but posts are anonymous and only moderated if illegal.
3)
Participants explain their vote, share information, and discuss each other's responses freely.
4)
Algorithms help participants engage with each other productively.
5)
Advanced analytics give you the collective answer.
Top ingredients of our solution:
Transparent safety
Everyone knows who was invited and why, but shared opinions and contributions are fully anonymous.
Exclusive inclusivity
All and only invited participants are able to respond, discuss and rate each other's opinions, and all voices count the same.
Structured diversity
Our exclusive methodology and technology ensures that discussions are free and yet focussed on understanding a specific issue.
