Our secret spice – the PAPRIKA method
Patented technology that has won awards for its power and user-friendliness.
Invented for a higher purpose
PAPRIKA was invented by 1000minds’ founders to help manage long surgical waiting lists in New Zealand in the 1990s. PAPRIKA was designed as a fairer and more accurate method for prioritizing patients for healthcare.
Cutting-edge technology
PAPRIKA was quickly recognized as a revolutionary new approach to multi-criteria decision analysis and conjoint analysis in general. This award-winning, patented method is used across all industries.
Greater engagement and accuracy
PAPRIKA keeps participants engaged by asking one simple question at a time – like having a conversation. This ensures high quality responses that accurately reflect people’s preferences when making trade-offs.
Results you can trust and understand
As you answer each question, PAPRIKA adapts as it chooses the next question, minimizing the number asked. This advanced form of adaptive conjoint analysis gives you valid and reliable results you can trust.
