What 1000minds is
1000minds provides software for decision-making, conjoint analysis, discrete choice experiments, and preferences research. Its patented PAPRIKA method asks participants pairwise questions about partial profiles and adapts subsequent questions to earlier answers. Users can build and tailor decision models, run them individually, with groups, or as surveys, then review results with graphical and analytical tools. An AI assistant can help create models and generate ideas while the user remains in control. The conjoint and DCE platform supports surveys of up to 5,000 people, while a research platform plan lists unlimited surveys. The software can work with research survey panels and other survey tools, and the maker offers bespoke integration and development services. 1000minds identifies its service as SOC 2 and GDPR compliant and offers an EU application instance for EU data storage and processing. Support includes a free personalized onboarding call, expert help, and on-call consultations for some packages. It was founded in 2003 and is headquartered in Dunedin, New Zealand. Pricing starts at $3,500, with a 15-day trial.
