Concept Testing

All samples are concepts, but not all concepts are samples. Package concepts, print-advertising concepts, video concepts, any virtual concept you can put on a screen can be presented and a response recorded, independent of an actual product.

Sample Presentation Options

• Panelist Indicates Sample Set Received: The panelist enters the tray number received and Compusense® five makes sure they receive the correct sample set.
• Bind Sample Sets to Stations: If booth traffic and sample preparation timing is a concern, this option is a benefit; you know in advance exactly which sample sets will be tested in each booth.
• Assign Sample Set to Panelist on Demand: This traditional method of sample presentation allows you to distribute the sample sets sequentially from your design as panelists arrive.
• Bind Sample Sets to Panelists: You will know exactly what samples each panelist will receive before they arrive for the test, regardless of which booth they use. Very useful if your samples involve a long preparation time. This is essential for control of replicated studies.
• Select Sample Presentation: In a quality control test, where you don't know which samples will be available ahead of time, panelists can choose the actual samples from the Sample Select Screen.

Data Collection

• Multiple Sample Presentation/Single Sample Presentation: In the same questionnaire, five samples could be ranked for overall liking and then rated for specific attributes one-at-a-time.
• Panelist Status Monitoring: You can monitor the activity in each of your booths; who is in the booth, what samples panelists are evaluating and what question panelists are currently answering.
• Stop and Resume: Allow panelists to finish testing after any given sample. This option gives you great flexibility. Panelists can “sign out” after any given sample and then return later to “sign in” and complete the rest of the sample set.
• Partial Presentation: An option that simplifies presentation of very large sample sets. You have control over how many samples you want the panelist to evaluate during each separate visit. In this way, whole blocks of samples may be tested over several visits.

Compusense five Plus

• Manage Multiple Projects: Present as many projects as you like and continuously monitor active tests.
• Randomize Projects: Eliminate presentation order bias or organize your projects in a specific sequence.
• Determine Panelist Eligibility: Customize each panelist presentation so panelists only see the projects they are eligible for.

Printable Ballot

Right from your project questionnaire, you can request to print or save (in various file types) a ballot to send out for review, add to a report or include as part of a home use test. Use the “merge” feature in Microsoft Word to create a complete ballot, including blinding codes and unique panelist information.
