MaxDiff Analysis

Our MaxDiff Capabilities

We design and run MaxDiff studies end-to-end—from item refinement and experimental design through programming, sampling, and fieldwork execution.

Our analytics team produces stable preference scores and rankings, supports segmentation cuts, and helps interpret results for messaging, feature prioritization, and value proposition decisions.

You receive decision-ready deliverables—ranked priorities, clear implications, and recommendations—so you can align teams around what matters most.

How We Work

We work with you to refine the list of features, benefits, or messages to test, making sure items are clear, distinct, and comparable for respondents.

We create the MaxDiff design—how many items appear per screen and how often each is shown—and program the survey so every item is tested in a balanced way.

We define the sample and quotas, including the base sizes needed for segment-level rankings, and manage fieldwork with quality checks on responses.

Our analytics team estimates preference scores and rankings for every item, produces item shares, and compares results across segments.

You receive a findings deck with ranked priorities, score tables, and a clean dataset. A dashboard or interactive summary can be added for stakeholders.

Frequently asked questions

01
What is MaxDiff analysis best used for?
MaxDiff is ideal for prioritizing long lists (features, benefits, messages) by forcing trade-offs. It helps identify what matters most, not just what respondents say is “important.”
02
How many items can we test?
MaxDiff can handle sizeable item lists. We’ll recommend a practical number based on respondent burden and the experimental design required for stable estimates.
03
What sample size is needed?
Sample size depends on how granular you want segmentation. We recommend a base size sufficient for stable scores and additional sample if segment-level rankings are required.
04
What outputs will we receive?
Outputs include preference scores and rankings, item shares, segment comparisons, and clear implications. We can also provide simulator-style views for decision-making.
05
What deliverables will I receive?
You receive a findings deck, ranked priorities, score tables, and a clean dataset. Optional deliverables include a dashboard or interactive summary for stakeholders.
